What Customers say about our Switchblade Hoe
Our volunteers are retired and some in their late 70`s and even 80`s, so I need a system that saves aging bodies
from injuries as well as shortens the time spent weeding. Thus, standup tools, and versatility of different heads
and adjustable handle length and ease of use has made a joyful difference in our volunteer's well being.
Everyone who uses it finds they are not tired as well as the jobs are accomplished in much less time.
The volunteers feel great satisfaction with the results.
I started with one handle with heads and when I saw how effective it is, I bought two more.
So far so good. Everything seems well made and sturdy, and I appreciate that there are so many instructional resources on this website as well.
This my first hoe and I am very happy with it. It is sharp and of good quality. It was very easy to assemble. Ordering was easy and there were no issues.
Products arrived just as advertised and very timely receipt of goods. Purchased a couple of different hoes and my husband and I have used them and really like the quality. Looking forward to using for many years to come. Will definitely order from Easy Digging again.
I was really excited to try tools from here, I had heard great things. And yes, the tools I got were fantastic! I am so pleased. Thank you for having a place to easily find high-quality tools for reasonable prices.
Fantastic product. An excellent value for the money.

Assembling and Using the Switchblade Hoe
The assembly and tool usage instructions are fully shown on the 3 linked pages below.
To print the complete Switchblade Hoe instructions
Assemble handle to fit your height
Our Switchblade Hoe can fit everyone, whether short, tall, or average. It does this by having BOTH a multiple angle connector for the tool heads AND a telescoping handle length.
1. Assemble the Connector based on your lowest rib height
While standing straight, measure the distance from the ground to the bottom of your lowest rib at your side. This determines how to assemble the Connector into the handle.
If your lowest rib height is 39" or less, assemble the Connector with the single notch exposed and facing upwards. If it is 40" to 47", the double notch should face upwards. Or if it is 48" or more, the triple notch should face upwards...(continued)
See the rest of these Instructions here:
Attach and use Stirrup Hoe heads
A stirrup hoe is used on SMALL weeds with a back and forth action similar to scrubbing. It is designed to work (to rip and uproot weeds) only on the back stroke (when it is pulled towards the user). On the forward stroke, the blade should just gently skim across the soil surface.
1: Attach a Blade, and adjust the Handle length
Attach a blade to the connector using the two supplied pins and clips.
Rest the clean blade on the carpet with the bottom of the blade flat, as shown in the drawing. Position your rear hand at the top of your hip bone, and stand upright with good posture...(continued)
See the rest of these Instructions here:
Attach and use Wire Weeder heads
A wire hoe is used on new weeds, which are also called thread-stage or sprouts. It is simply dragged across the soil surface, and the small weed stems wrap around the thin wire and are pulled out. Use it weekly to prevent weeds from becoming large or strong.
1: Attach a Wire loop, then adjust Handle length
The wire loops are attached using the two short pins through the holes in the end of the handle Connector.
The wire hoe can be used with the handle in line with the wire loop (straight), or with the handle pivoted (angled) about 45 degrees to the wire loop...(continued)
