Radius Garden 106 Ergonomic Aluminum Hand Scooper, Original Green

So, I have thumb & wrist issues that get cortisone. I also have a damaged/pinned ankle that barely bends, and use a cane mainly for balance and bending. So when I saw this, it seemed like it might help with my grip, but that digging the weeds out would still be super tough... Boy was I wrong with the last thought!!This thing actually feels nice in your hand so the way you can hold the tool isn't completely horizontal. The curved grip is bigger than expected, so I could choose how/where I wanted to hold it. Then I tried to dig up a large weed, in super dry/dense soil. Omgosh, this thing went into the ground WAY easier than I thought since I can only use one hand to dig and the other on cane for balance. & this is where I also really noticed the ergonomics of the tool. Not only does it cut into the ground without a ton of force, but the handle lets you bend it back pretty easy which raises it up. Some weeds were large and I had to dig around it in about 3 places. The roots come out as well. It was so easy and fascinating that my mom laughed me as I kept saying "wow" moving from weed to weed quickly.I LOVE this thing. After my first use I came back and ordered the whole set!

It is very comfortable to use when I got older and didn't have as much hand strength. Works well in clay soil as well. I love it!

If I could only have one garden hand tool - this would be it!Bought this at a local garden shop 12 yr ago, & just bought more for gifts.It's perfect for regular weeding, and rooting dandelions, small starter trees etc.It penetrates an old layer of mulch easier, and is a great pry bar (within reason)when weeds are close to edging.It's strong, one piece molded aluminum which stands up to quite a lot of pressure.> The ergonomic handle is actually comfortable.> The round handle is 1 1/4" dia, with the outside being a semi-soft rubber.> The couture shape of the handle lets the hand be at a normal, horizontal angle,unlike regular tools, where your hand is in an uncomfortable, vertical position.The over all length is 14 1/2". With a 6" supple handle, and 8 3/4" digging spade.The tip of the spade is 1" wide, and at 5" up is still only 1 1/4" wide.That narrowness makes it easy to sink the tool deep, which in turn isn't as tiring on the hand.PhotosPry the tool against the brick edging for yrs without issueOld & new tool = The original has been used so much that we've worn over 1/4" off the tip.

My husband does most of the weeding and planting in our yard. He likes this because of the ergonomic handle. He's an older adult and his hands bother him but he has less pain with this tool.

This is the best trowel I own. The top edges are great for cutting vines, deadheading flowers and trimming small shrubs. So sturdy.

I like the long smooth spade. It's great for digging planting holes.My first one did snap in half when I tried to use it to pry something up so don't do that.

I was attracted by the cool design that also looked ergonomic which it is. Sharp end work great for hard or compacted soil and the ergonomic handle feels better with my aging hands and arms.

I bought it for planting bulbs in the fall!

Fits my wife's hand comfortably. Does not agrivate her arthritic pain

je cherchais un modèle qui ne plairait pas entre la poignée et la spatule. Celle-ci semble solide

All good does a good job 👍

Das Werkzeug ist für viele Gartenarbeiten sehr behilflich.Könnte allerdings bisschen breiter sein.

This Garden tool is very sturdy and very comfortable to hold and use. It is worth the money, and has got quite a long reach. Have used it a lot .
