HACHIEMON Japanese Craftsmanship Garden Hand Tool Hoe and Cultivator Hand Tiller - Sturdy and Sharp

I had one of these for at least 10 years. I recently lost it somewhere on our property (a few acres). I looked all over for it for two days, after which I ordered another one without hesitation. I used mostly to pull big- rooted weeds. It is a life saver for me, and I don't see how anyone can do without it. The Japanese always make good products, and you can be assured this one is top-notch in balance and quality!! I have another one that I refuse to use - no comparison.

Good heavy tool for gardening.

This is a very affordable and well made tool for yard and garden work. It is very sharp and can easily cut through roots, pants and hand, so be careful.High quality steel and I think the handle is japanese white oak? Not sure. But the head is well placed on the handle with a secondary and tertiary attachment. Highly recommend this tool over a 5lb mattock or gardening axe/hoe.

Strong tool. Very sharp!

One of the best gardening tool we’ve ever had. Bought myself one. Husband loved it. Had to buy him one. Amazing that this little tool works like a big one.

Love this - very solid, nice weight. We sent one to our gramma too!

My main beef with these tools ( I have several) is the potential for the head to come off since you’re pulling on it with every stroke. This one has a screw in a good position to secure the head withoutbreaking or splintering the handle. Cheaply made but good value for the price.

Beautiful design, but the handle snapped after a week of use. Not sure what kind of wood is used for the handle, but it did not last. The wood needed to be hickory and was certainly a softer wood than that.NOT Japanese craftsmanship. They do not make tools that break with light use. Just a sales pitch and a Japanese-looking label.
