The CobraHead "steel fingernail®" blade is now available mounted in a long, hoe-type handle. We have a limited production run of this tool available now. It is an extremely effective weeding and cultivating tool for stand-up gardening. It has won the Joe Gardener award as one of the must-have tools for 2007.

The CobraHead Long Handle weighs about 2.4 pounds and comes in handle lengths of 48", 54" and 60". The blade assembly adds 8" to the length, so the overall tool lengths are 56" (48" handle), 62" (54" handle), and 68" (60" handle).

The 54" handle (62" overall) is typical and recommended for most gardeners. Gardeners under 5' 1" may prefer the 48" handle. Gardeners over 6' 3" may prefer the 60" handle.

This is the same great tool as the original Cobra Head Versatile Small Garden Tool, except with a long handle.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Cobra Head Garden Tool

What's so great about Cobra Head?

It's probably the best all around small garden tool available. It has a range of uses that will make it indispensable to most gardeners. It weeds, it digs, it scalps, it cultivates, and it does all these jobs exceptionally well.

What makes Cobra Head different from other tools that look almost the same?

There are lots of tools that have a similar blade head shape to Cobra Head, but they are not the same. The Cobra Head blade is thin, and wears to knife-like edge. Other similar tools are flat and thicker along the cutting edge. While this may seem to be a small difference, it makes a huge difference in soil and weed cutting ability. The Cobra Head cuts through all soils easily. What weeds it cannot pull out it chops off below the soil. There are similar weeders that do have a sharp blade. The most popular tools are made under various names such as New England Style or Cape Cod Style weeder. These tools have a blade that is sharp on one edge only and can only be used for right hand weeding. The Cobra Head out-performs these tools in its weeding capability, it can be used right-handed or left-handed, and it has many other uses besides weeding.

What makes the Cobra Head a "precision" weeder?

The relatively narrow blade head and the pointed tip let the Cobra Head work as though its blade were a steel fingernail. You can get right next to delicate plants and grab the weed and pull it out.

Is the Cobra Head effective on all weeds?

While I doubt there is such a thing as a universal weeder, the Cobra Head appears to be as close as you can get. I find it the best tool for grasses of all types. It does a great job on low-lying weeds such as purslane and spurge. It is great on dandelions and tap-rooted weeds. And because of its scalping ability even the weeds that can't be pulled out can be cut off quite deeply underground.

How do you "grab" weeds with the Cobra Head?

I think everyone who uses this tool will develop their own style, but I find that if I push the blade into the ground just beyond the root and crown of the weed and pull the tool towards me, it pulls the whole weed loose. Usually I can pull dandelions and similar rooted weeds out in a single motion, with minimal disturbance to plants around the weed.

What about cultivation? Why would I want to use a single bladed tool as a cultivator?

The unique blade shape of the Cobra Head has proven itself for years as an extremely efficient soil-cutting tool. What it may lose in width covered with a single pass is more than offset by the ease with which it cuts soil. You don't kill yourself trying to break hard soil. I find its ability to break up soil and pull up weed roots at the same time to be the best way to cultivate my beds.

What else does Cobra Head do well?

I use it as a transplanter. I almost never use a trowel anymore. I use it as a seeder to either dig a small hole or make a furrow line. I use it to de-thatch very weedy areas that need to be cleaned up. I use it as an edger both in the garden and along walkways. I find new uses all the time. The Cobra Head is the first I tool take with me when I go into the garden.

I'm a flower gardener, does the Cobra Head work for me?

Flower gardeners will find this tool invaluable. Its ability to be extremely precise makes it ideal. It is a great bulb transplanter. It is great in rock gardens.

Is Cobra Head the only garden tool I need?

I don't think so. Most gardeners will tell you that they use a lot of tools. However, you could garden exclusively with the Cobra Head. Certain jobs would just take you longer, that's all. I will say that if I could only have one tool, this would be it.

You say it's great. What if I don't like it?

I'll give you one year from the time of purchase to make up your mind. If you don't find the Cobra Head to be a useful and well made tool, return it and we will refund your purchase costs including original shipping costs (USA and Canada, only). The Cobra Head also has a full one year warranty against manufacturer defects. If defective, return it within the year together with your receipt and we will send you another or refund your money.
