I realize this is an old thread but I was reading through various tool threads and can contribute a little here.
Mary, I believe your hoe/cultivator is an Ames/True Temper model. I picked one up at a yard sale many years ago and the seller had a complete garage full of over stock TT tools from his hardware store. Paid $4. Of all the tools I bought that day, it's the only one still in service. I know I was driving my little Ford Ranger so that was 1998 or prior.
Lightweight, comfortable, hickory handle. Bent a cultivator tine the first season but I was misusing the tool. Truth be told the hoe is the business end but the rear tines add enough weight for good balance. Now I do have heavier duty versions of the tool but they're not as comforatble. I'm surprised this little tool has lasted as long as it has but I am going to buy another. Local store shows them as "in stock".
Search: Ames 13.5 in. Combo Hoe and Cultivator Mattock with Google Shopping and a box store has them for $11. One that looks similar is the Hula Hoe Pickmatick. Cost almost 3x and I've not actually handled one for weight/balance comparison. The clean, rarely used un-brand model in my picture weighs too much for an actual replacement, I have a more comfortable ax!
BTW, I love the loppers!
