Troubleshooting
Hoe head is loose on the handle
Remove the hoe head and re-secure it to the handle using appropriate methods (e.g., wedge, screw, or friction fit, depending on the handle type) to ensure a tight connection.
Rust spots appearing on the blade
Clean the affected area with a wire brush and apply a light coat of oil to the metal surface. Ensure the tool is stored in a dry environment.
Gloves provide insufficient protection
Consider purchasing specialized heavy-duty gardening gloves that offer higher levels of protection suitable for your specific tasks. The included gloves are economy grade.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This product is the hoe head only. A compatible handle must be sourced and securely attached. Ensure the handle ferrule fits snugly into the hoe head's socket and is fastened according to standard tool assembly practices to prevent loosening during use.
Compatibility: The hoe head is designed for standard hoe handles. Specific dimensions for handle insertion are not provided, but typical 'eye' or socket diameters for this type of tool should be considered.
Care: After each use, clean the hoe head thoroughly to remove soil and debris. Store in a dry location to prevent rust. Lightly oiling the metal surface can offer additional protection against the elements. The included gloves should be cleaned according to standard textile care, typically with mild soap and water, and air-dried.
