By dave | We are quite excited about this new (and we think improved) version of the CobraHead weeding tool. In this video, Dave demonstrates the tool and gives his opinion. The raffle going on right now features this tool as one of the prizes! [View the item] |

| After receiving the regular CobraHead from Noel at a conference I liked it so much I bought the long handled one at a silent auction. As soon as I saw it I dared anyone else to outbid me. LOL I really don't know how long mine is but I am 5'3" and love it. It is great for reaching under plants where I would prefer not to reach in by hand (snakes.) My soil is very heavy and these tools are perfect for digging right in with minimal effort on my part. Minds are like parachutes; they work better when they are open. |

Definitely!   What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us. Garden Rooms and Becky's Budget Garden |

plantladylin said: Good review! I reviewed it previously but upon re-reading what I wrote, I noticed that I said I had the 'short' one. That was before I knew there was a 'mini'. Oh, dear. Now I'll have to decide between the mini and the long handled one. (unless, of course, the NARR is in my favor.) |

| Lin's comment made me realize the long-handle ones existed. I edited my review/comment to indicate the "original size" instead of "the bigger one." I'd seen Dave holding 2 and mine was the bigger one of those. Now I want a long-handle one too! I've been spending unnecessary time in a squat! 👀😁😂 - SMILE! -☺😎☻☮👌✌∞☯🐣🐦🐔🐝🍯🐾 The less I interfere, the more balance mother nature provides. 👒🎄👣🏡🍃🍂🌾🌿🍁❦❧ 🍃🍁🍂🌾🌻🌸🌼🌹🌽❀☀🌺 ☕👓 The only way to succeed is to try. |

@Dave,dave said:Make sure he knows you're an NGA member. I just ordered the new "mini" tonight and in the comments section box I said; "I read about it from Dave Whitinger at the National Gardening Association".  |

dave said:Ya'll are making me want to get a long handled one. I ordered the long handled one years ago, couldn't figure out how to attach the blade to the handle, set both of the parts aside in the garage and now can't find either the blade and the handle.  I'm planning to order a new long handled one when I have more money. |

| My long handled CobraHead came with the blade already attached and a safety sleeve covering the blade. ~ I'm an old gal who still loves playing in the dirt! ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! |

| I bought mine recently, and the blade was not attached, but it came with a little tusk T-handle driver and therefore was easy to attach. |

| Oops. It's actually a hex key, not a tusk driver. I know nothing about tools. |

| That's kinda weird that 2 of y'all bought the long handled version about the same time and one had handle attached and a safety sleeve while the other had unattached handle with a hex key. Well, I'm broke so I can't get one now anyway. I'm still happy with the original Cobrahead. |

| Oh wait, I'm sorry ... I'm really getting old. When I received my CobraHead, the blade was NOT already attached! It came with the little tool to attach it which I did and then my husband had to tighten it more since I don't have much strength in my hands anymore. ~ I'm an old gal who still loves playing in the dirt! ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! |

| But did it have a safety sleeve? :D |

Long cobra head is also good for pulling up a heavy turtle trap: Nice to have multifunctions Cauliflower is just a cabbage with a college education (mark twain) |

| @texaskitty111 said, 'Nice to have multifunctions.' Agree. But do you have to trap turtles? |

| They keep eating my bait when I'm fishing, so I move them to the creek. Cauliflower is just a cabbage with a college education (mark twain) |
