Troubleshooting
Tool handle feels loose
Ensure the handle is securely attached. If it is a plastic handle that has detached, it may require replacement. For minor looseness, check for any debris preventing a tight fit.
Plastic material shows signs of cracking
This may occur from excessive force or prolonged exposure to harsh weather. Discontinue use if cracks compromise the tool's integrity or safety. Store tools indoors when not in use.
Tools are not effective in hard soil
