If your going to get a pair of pruners, get these. great pruners!

That being said, the overall quality of this item is a bit shoddy. The spot welds used to attach the tines to the main support rod lack any subtlety, and appear to have been performed by a drug-addled youth. <br /> <br />This tool will last, but is doesn't cut the grade compared to the larger tools in this product line, or even the hand trowel and hand fork offered by Brook and Hunter.

They grab part of the weed and leave most of the root, and it just gets stronger and harder to pull. <br />This weeder really works - if your soil is like mine, it actually breaks the entire root out of the soil and the entire weed comes out, not just the top leaves. <br />My Dad recommended it, and he lives in Oklahoma, where the soil can be very hard from clay. If it works there, it works anywhere. This really worked!

The sprinkler is well designed, and the adjustable pattern really works well to fit any shaped yard. Unfortunately, the sprinkler has a serious flaw. Grass that is close to the sprinkler gets a much heavier amount of water than the grass on the perimeter. Using this sprinkler for several weeks in the hot summer left me with a circle of lush green lawn surrounded by brown and burned grass. I wouldn't recommend this sprinkler. Great idea with a serious flaw

Also, the rotating handle actually bugs me a little bit. I would go for one without a rotating handle if I were to do it all over again. I like it – but not 100%
