The Hoss Stirrup Hoe makes it easy and effortless to remove weeds and cultivate along rows and between plants. This is simply the best stirrup or hula hoe you will find. This long-handle hoe is built to last a lifetime and will be used for many generations. The strength and functionality of this tool makes it extremely versatile for a wide range of garden applications. Use it as a precision-weeding tool for removing weeds that appear between plants along the row. The rounded blade allows you to work close to plants without damaging the stems or foliage. It also works great for heavier applications such as clearing large patches of heavily-weeded areas. Additionally, it can be used as an edging tool to maintain the borders of your garden beds. Shuffle the hoe along the edge of the garden to prevent grass runners from creeping into the garden and becoming weeds. The Hoss Stirrup Hoe is MADE IN THE USA with a powder-coated steel frame, spring steel blade and 60″ ash handle. The 6″ spring steel blade is super sharp and ready to eliminate any weed that might be in its path. The powder-coated frame is slotted so the blade can rotate 20 degrees in either direction — forward or backward. This allows the user to weed and cultivate with the push and the pull motion of the tool. Because one can cut in both directions, it doesn’t take long at all to zip through the garden and have it nice, clean and weed-free. The 60″ ash handle makes it a great tool for users of all heights. All of our handles are waxed and free of any lacquer that will splinter or crack.
