Customer Testimonials
I'm a sucker for trying new gardening tools, and have tried many. Your long handled tools are fantastic; especially for
people with low back problems. The azadas are perfect for working a raised garden bed, without walking on top of
them. So be sure to try out Greg's selection and order several to save on shipping. I did!

on instructions from manufacturer. Merchant was willing to ship to customers preferred method and pleasant to
converse with!

Which handle length is right for you?
If you are breaking up concrete or carving through large stones then use the standard 36" handle with an
overhead swing for maximum force. For all other tasks you can easily use the long 45" handle.
There are two ways to use a mattock or pick axe : the hard way and the easy way...
The hard way is to swing a short handled mattock up and over your head, like an axe, then rapidly bend your
back to plunge the tool into the ground. This works well where lots of force is needed - like for breaking
concrete. But for most digging tasks it is overkill and may damage your back.
The easy way is to raise a long handled mattock up to chest height then swing it back into the ground - using
the weight of the tool head and the leverage of the long handle to produce a forceful strike - while keeping your
back in a more gentle posture. That's why we offer long 45" handles for our picks and mattocks.
(If your height is less than 4'6" you can use the 36" handle with the recommended chest height swing.)
