Seymour 2E-G60 Grub Head

This tool head is very small, smaller than you think. It worked really well for spot areas removing roots, but not something you can use for large areas. The dimensions are taken from behind the handle, not just blade area. So be careful. It is light enough for a smaller person to raise and strike with adequate force, it can do some real damage to roots if you keep it sharp enough. It does come with a screw to fasten to your handle, I don't use it because I'd like to use one handle for two heads. I would recommend this tool for anyone that does gardening or needs a specialized tool for removing roots, tilling soil and or clearing out swales of sediment. The curved shape is very useful and the reinforcements make this a tool one I'll surely have for a lifetime.

After getting this grub hoe I hardly ever use a shovel any more. I use it foreverything from digging to chopping heavy roots. Because it is narrow and longit is easy to dig with. Making rows, digging trenches, clearing small roots stumps.Very handy and comfortable tool to use.I chose the 54" ash handle for it. I am 6 ft. and that is perfect for me.I wish I had found this tool 10 years before I did.

Just got this 2E-G60 grub hoe head: made in China; steel is much thinner than those I bought in the past; and the blade is not curvedas I remember from my earlier Vic hoes. Too bad. Also I bought the long straight Seymour handle, DG-AEH. It almost fits. The hoe headslides down past the bottom end of the handle by ~¼ inch. This is worrisome. With time and use my guess is the hoe head will slide down even further eventually making the tool useless.I wonder if anyone would be willing to pay 2x the price to get the (primitive) quality this tool used to have. I would.

If I could have only one garden tool, this would be it. It does everything you need to do at least a little bit. It excells at cleaning up a garden by removing grasses and roots and rocks and whatever else you don't like. It's kind of like an over-sized adze. It's heavier than most hoes. If you just want a hoe for delicate weeding, this is not the perfect choice.

Unfortunately, you won’t find this tool at the your local hardware store. Which is a shame. Great for gardening in tough or imperfect soil. The hoe is heavy and can be used to rip sod, clobber weeds. The narrow 4” blade makes it useful for tight areas. The long handle available from the same company is easier on your back.
