Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have a very small front area that needs tilling/cultivating each year. Not a big deal to do by hand but I'm a gadget guy and when I saw this I was intrigued. I already have a few B&D cordless items w/ 18v batteries so I got the battery-less version of this tool. I got it a few days later and tried it the day I got it, it had rained night before and I used it at around 6pm, so I would say 12-15 hours after it rained about 1 inch of rain.
I live in Queens, NYC. Soil is thick but not clayish. Soil could use some perlite and peat moss but it grows good flowers each year, will get around to the perlite/peatmoss one of these days.
On a full battery, this tool seemed to be straining to work, it felt like a toy motor was running this thing, even though it has some heft to the base where the motor is.
It had a VERY hard time working my soil and I would say it took me twice as long to work soil with this tool as it did to do it by hand with a hand tool cultivator (ones with blades crossing each other, forget the brand).
If I where to do over again, I would not have bought this. Maybe if the tool was more powerful it would be good, maybe even a corded version? But for now it will rest in back of garage with my other unused gadgets.
Why don't I return it, I have no time to find a box to fit this in, old one was set out in trash the day I got it.
I may sell it at a yard sale this year.
