The Chillington Heavy Duty Hoe or Digging Hoe is a garden tool for digging what could be described as 'virgin ground' or hard ground. This impressively robust tool is the mainstay of some agricultural workers and market gardeners, just as the garden spade is to the DIY gardener. In fact this tool is far superior and faster than your typical garden spade. For clearing away the autumn leaves and drawing lines in your soil to plant vegetables and vibrant flowers for the summer, our wide selection of garden rakes will help you keep your garden looking neat and tidy. Lastly, in my eyes the light weight options are always going to be better, as long as you’re not going to Fisher Price to buy your tools you should be ok. Heavyweight tools are needed of course but we assess the workload and use them accordingly. Which material is best for the blade?

One with a slight angle will work the bestIt pretty much goes without saying that if you look after your tools you will get much longer use out of them. And personally it really gets my goat whenI even see people not taking care of their tools. If you pay good money for something then it’s definitely worth taking a little extra care with it. Not just storing it in a dry place away from the elements (which is pretty obvious stuff) but sharpening the blade too. I have always found that when any tool is working to its full capability then I’m not going to be compensating for its inability to get the job done correctly. If I have a blunt blade I’m going to be using brute force instead of letting the tool do the work. Not only is that detrimental to my health as my form when using the tool won’t be correct but it’s also going to take its toll on the blades, handles and grips too. There are quite simply too many styles of hoes to speak about and if I’m honest and went on about all the different sub genres of hoes, I would probably fall asleep telling you. But there are three main types of hoes worth knowing about as knowing how they work then means you know how to choose the right tool for the job. It can be quite fun teasing the labourer and watching him struggle with the wrong hoe from time to time though too. Types of hoe

Grub hoes are heavier because of the bigger blade and wooden handle. Look for one that’s 2-3kg heavy.

You get a whole lot of hoe for this price 😀 I’m talking the soil breaking, weeder incase your mind wandered then 🙂 Firstly, the price here is inexpensive even though the price is actually subjective to what you want to use the hoe for and as there are so many different styles of hoe I wanted to choose a decent option for the most common style of hoe. I can’t possibly cover the many different types of gardening hoes; there are dozens of them. But there are a few common types you should be familiar with as each is suited to a specific type of gardening task.

So whether you refer to them as a Chillington Heavy Duty Hoe, a Digging Hoe, Heavy Duty Azada or Digging Azadas here in Europe, they are certainly a "Great Tool" what ever their name is around the world.It's also a tool that can last a life time. I suppose we should call them "Grandpa's tools", because you will most likely find them in his garden shed. The handles are rough and ready and do the job in hand better than other modern tools. For small gardens such as those contained in boxes, consider getting a hand hoe. It’s small and designed to be held in one hand. B. Handle Draper are a good quality brand that no doubt you have heard of – they are always delivering mid range tool quality at the lower end of the pricing structure – it applies to almost all hand tools too. And it’s unsurprising

Making pathways for walkers and cyclists .... For excavating archaeological remains by Archaeological teams .... Drainage trenches by road workers .... Fire breaks by forestry workers ... Clearing undergrowth by horticultural workers .... In some countries these tools are known as digging azadas or heavy duty azadas. They are a superb tool partly because you can do so much varied work with them. For example besides cultivating land for vegetables and gardens they are in common everyday use for:This oscillating hoe by Fiskars is designed to make light work of weed roots without harming plants and flowers – I’d say of all the oscillating hoes this is the one that delivers on that. The handle is made from a robust aluminum, it’s lightweight but doesn’t sacrifice durability. The soft grip is extra long which I really liked as I am still able to hold onto the grip and use it in many different positions. There’s a hanging hoop at the top of the handle too for storage. The full length is 167.5cm so it’s really built for turning a chore into something more bearable and far less of a workout. The real bonus here is the movement of the head. The double edged stainless steel blade allows excellent cutting on both the push and the pull movements. There are specially designed teeth to aid the pull motion when cutting to make it easier to cut through the soil and make cuts. The blade has a width of only 13.5cm which to be quite frank could have been slightly wider, especially when the Fiskars QuikFit Push-Pull Weeder has an extra 2cm on it. It’s not the end of the world but it just would have made more sense to me to make it the same size. Nevertheless, I really like this tool because it makes it very easy to use for extended periods of time and does exactly what it’s designed to do. Pros If you’re installing fence posts our selection of post hole diggers help to create narrow, even holes in the ground and feature non-slip handles for a secure grip.

It’s taller than almost any other hoe with an overall length of 167cm. Despite the long handle, it weighs less than a kilo thanks to the aluminium shaft. So it feels very comfortable and balanced in your hands.The secret is the steel-reinforced fiberglass handle. It adds strength to the hoe without weighing it down.
