AMES 2915300 Double Blade Weed Grass Cutter with Hardwood Handle, 30 Inch

Extremely effective and easy to use. I did not think to take a before and after photo, but the first photo is of the adjacent plot, with the same dense growth. Both my girlfriend and I thought it was easy to use. Does take a little effort but really cuts down thick growth. It’s best to manually pull any truly woody tree saplings. I can’t yet say it’s durable, but it seems very well-made, the handle is like a baseball bat good hardware. The Lowe’s got bad reviews, broke easily, good luck.

This is old school weed removal and it works just fine, still have to bend down a bit but I love this style. Handle is very sturdy good quality.

I was surprised by the quality of this hand tool! 4 stars because it needs a fair amount of sharpening when it arrives, but once I got it sharp it gets the job done!

Works great

First off, don’t listen to anyone who tells you that serrated blade cannot be sharpened. That is simply a myth, and always has been. As is true with the vast majority of edged tools, this tool is shipped with an edge but not sharpened. The factory grinds an edge down as finely as is safe for shipping. They don’t want the liability of warehouse workers and truck drivers cutting themselves on their tools during shipping so MOST edged tools (e.g. machetes, garden hoes, cultivator forks, pitch forks, axes, etc.) are shipped dull but with the edge ground in. This tool is no exception. The entire blade arrives painted to prevent rust during storage and shipping, but you can easily see the edge. Simply take your file and/or stone and sharpen the edge as you would sharpen any other tool. Once sharp, it cuts well. While the product listing was clear, holding it in person surprised me. First because the handle is shorter than I would have made if I were building this tool. I’d like the handle to be about 6 inches longer. Oh well, it’ll do. Second it surprised me because the handle is thicker than I expected. The diameter of the handle reminds me of the grip area of a baseball bat. The entire tool has some weight to it. It’s hefty. The weight aids in putting some power behind your swing to slice through the vegetation. A word of warning: Make sure that no one is around you while you work this and make sure others know not to approach you. This tool could put a serious gash in someone’s leg! I plan to drill a lanyard hole in the end of the handle so I can put a wrist lanyard on it so it doesn’t slip my grip and fly away. As I said, the tool is on the heavy side and losing your grip on this could seriously injure someone nearby.

Thia weed whip comes assembled, has a nice wood handle but, comes with a non-sharpened blade. I had to order a set of small files capable to use on hard steel. I hand filed the blade for over two hours to get the blade somewhat sharp. The wood handle needs to be 6 inches longer. The blade should come sharp, not dull. If sent sharp, the product should have a cover, leather or plastic, that can be snapped on to make it safe so the product liability lawyers are satisfied.

I have not used this yet but have examined it closely and have the following observations. 1. The sling/whip is made well and is very solid. 2. The handle is solid wood, heavier than steel tubing but weight is an advantage with this type of cutting tool. 3. There is supposed to be a hole towards the top of the handle for hanging/a short lanyard to wrap around your wrist, but mine did not have a hole - I will drill one! 4. The double sided blade has a heavy rubber like paint covering it - both of the "cutting edges" should be "hit" with several passes using a metal file just to get the coating off the "cutting surfaces" - which reveals fairly sharp edges, solving what some people have observed as "dull" blades. 5. You must be very careful with this tool, any distraction while using it may result in bad cuts or abrasions to your legs or to other people's appendages. The tool is made well and should last years with occasional tightening of nuts and occasional light filing of the 2 cutting edges. Enjoy

The weeder works well. The long hand makes weeding easy and comfortable. No bending over. The tip is strong. My only complaint is some splintery wood on the handle that I had to file down to make the handle smooth before I could start using it.

Demasiado incómodo para poder trabajar con él, aún no me explico por qué tiene tan corto el mango, lo devolvería pero lo agregue a mi colección y estoy queriendo cambiarle el mango para poder usarlo.

Tool works great for clearing ferns and foliage. Heavy grass is a bit of a challenge. We added tape to the handle to provide a better grip. We liked it so much we bought a second unit.

This is a very handy tool. Nicely balanced and easy to use.

El producto no sirve para lo que fue diseñado

This weed cutter is strongly structured with a hefty weight so when you swing side-to-sideyou chop down thick weeds or even shrub stems especially if they are dry. Because it is heavy and the handle is somewhat short it is awkward to use for an extended period of time. A longer handle would elevate the rating to 5 stars! It has held up well so far.
