CobraHead Weeder and Cultivator

Designed for the lawn and garden, the CobraHead Weeder and Cultivator can be used to weed, scalp, edge, dig, furrow, plant, transplant, dethatch, and harvest. Its cobra-shaped, tempered-steel blade is designed to cut through, break up, and plow up almost any soil-even in tight spaces-with less resistance than a hoe or multi-tined tool. The CobraHead is available with a short handle for those who wish to kneel or bend over, or with a long-handle for stand-up weeding/cultivating. The short-handled version is 13 inches overall and weighs approximately 9 ounces. The three long-handled versions are 56, 62, and 68 inches overall and weigh around 21/4 pounds.

Cost: Short-handle, $25; long-handle $60
