Agreed! I just edged the berry garden on Sunday and used the Cobrahead. I doubt it took ten minutes and the garden is 35' long.

This has been my favorite and most used hand tool.
It is the cobra head from Gardeners.com

I have both the hand tool and the long handled version and could not garden without them. Most other tools have been donated, I just wasn't using anything but the Cobraheads. They are like an extra hand.

Most of the other tools I've had have been given away. I didn't know there was a long handled one, so now I know what I need.

Excellent tool

My wife got me one for X-mas. After these reviews, I'm looking forward to using it.

Nothing that's been done can ever be changed.

I was gifted with my first one and when I saw the long handled version in a silent auction I stood there all day and just dared anyone else outbid me for it. At my age sometimes you are just too achy to bend over and being able to snatch a weed out from a distance is great.

I got the Cobrahead from them directly when they first offered it and when they offered the long handled version, I ordered it from them directly, but after I got it, I couldn't figure out how to put it together, then it got buried in the garage and I haven't been able to find both parts, especially the blade. I now see they have a video on their site, but when I got it many years ago, I don't think they had one.

I picked up the handheld a couple of years ago at the Philly show and love it. Now I want the long version. I'm wondering if they'll allow me on the train home carrying such a weapon.

I bought mine through Amazon, the hand held one. No tax, no shipping, just $25.00.

Here's the one with a 54" handle, no shipping fee.
