What Customers Say About Our Grub Hoes
Links to more Grub Hoe Reviews
"I bought a 6 inch grubbing tool to be used to maintain our existing garden and to expand our garden by 5,000 square feet. It has taken the place of my garden spade forever. It is such a joy to use and it's so much better than a spade or shovel when digging or moving soil. This tool has saved me so much time and work during this expansion project. It is one of my most valuable garden tools. I will be purchasing the 4 inch grubbin hoe to be used for some of the finer work in the garden. Thank you for providing such high quality and useful tools. I am sure this hoe will be by my side for decades."

"It took me a little time getting use to the handling the grub. I like the results that it does."
"Excellent product!!! This is the first time I have ever given a testimonial for any product that I have ever purchased. The 6" Easy Digging Hoe is a high quality tool that makes sod removal incredibly easy and quick. Quick shipping, everything as promised."
"I LOVE my chopping hoe! I'm a 77-year-old woman with back pain. I was trying to control encroaching bamboo with a maddox and 4 or 5 hacks was all i could manage before pain and exhaustion stopped me. I knew I needed something lighter, better balanced and without the unnecessary pick end. I can hack much more bamboo with my best Grub Hoe. It's also great for trenching and weeding dandilions. They picked the right name with "Easy Digging". Thanks"
"I had some trail work to do in a Oregon Wilderness. I bought the 6 inch grub hoe for sale with the 5 foot handle, thinking it would be perfect and I was 100 percent correct. It is a trail making machine that eliminates back pain and moves more dirt than I have ever moved before making new trail. Once all the big roots where broken it was trail time. What also made it good was that I felt as if I was truly a valued customer with very personal quality service. I can tell Greg Baka, the owner, really has heart and that goes a long way in a Lowes and Home Depot world. "

Using a Grub Hoe
The sturdy peasant hoe was once a common tool on our small family farms in the days before the tractor. These tools dig and cultivate with an easy chop-pull motion that is very quick, but also gentler on your back than the stomp-bend-lift motion used with a shovel or spade.

Forging Process:
Forging is the process of forming and shaping metals through the use of hammering, pressing or rolling. The process begins with a bar or slab of steel which is heated to its plastic deformation temperature, then hammered or "kneaded" between dies to the desired shape and size. Forging is a ancient metalworking process that was done by a blacksmith pounding metal on an anvil with a hammer..
During the hot forging process, the steel's coarse grain structure is broken up and replaced by finer grains. Mechanical properties are improved by aligning the grain flow to obtain the desired directional strength. Forging can produce a piece that is stronger than an equivalent cast or machined part.
