FAQs
Does this hoe head come with a handle?
No, this product is the standalone 3lb hoe head only.
What type of handle should I use?
A standard, high-quality wooden garden hoe handle is recommended.
Can this be used for rocky soil?
Yes, its heat-treated steel construction is designed for robust use, including in difficult or slightly rocky soil.
How do I secure the head to the handle?
The head should be wedged onto the handle; using a metal wedge ensures a tight, secure fit that won't slip.
Is the steel coated?
The head features a durable finish designed to resist wear and corrosion, though standard maintenance is still recommended.
Troubleshooting
Head feels loose on the handle
Remove the head, re-seat it firmly, and drive a new or additional steel wedge into the top of the handle eye to expand the wood.
Surface rust appearing on the blade
Scrub the affected area with a wire brush or steel wool, then apply a thin coat of protective oil or wax.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your hoe, select a handle that matches the eye diameter of the tool head. You may need to taper the wood end of the handle using a rasp to ensure a snug, flush fit. Once seated, secure the head using a metal wedge to prevent loosening during operation. For care, keep the blade clean by removing soil and debris after every use. A light coating of mineral oil on the steel surface during storage will prevent oxidation. Periodically check the connection between the head and handle to ensure there is no wobbling, as this can affect performance and safety.
