The CobraHead® is close to being a universal tool as it weeds, cultivates, scalps, edges, digs, furrows, plants, transplants, de-thatches, and harvests with ease. It has received the Seal of Approval from the National Home Gardening Club. It is made in the U.S. from knife-blade quality self-sharpening steel and environmentally friendly wood fiber reinforced plastic. The blade design can break up and plow almost any soil, and the comfortable and efficient handle can be used right or left-handed. With the relatively narrow blade head and the pointed tip, you can get right next to delicate plants to pull out the weed. It is great on dandelions and tap-rooted weeds. Just push the blade into the ground just beyond the crown of the weed and then pull the tool towards you in order to pull the whole weed loose. CobraHead® has many other uses from edging to seeding.
