CobraHead Long Handle (48″)

The CobraHead® Long Handle is a tool used for gardening, horticulture, agriculture and landscaping. Its blade is a “steel fingernail®” that makes the tool a super efficient weeding, cultivating, digging and planting device. It weeds, cultivates, scalps, de-thatches, edges, digs, and furrows with ease. The CobraHead® Long Handle allows many weeding tasks to be performed standing up. While most gardeners will find it useful, it is especially helpful for older gardeners and those who have difficulty bending over or getting on their knees. The CobraHead Long Handle has three handle length options: 48″, 54″, and 60″. The 54″ handle is standard. Users 5’2″ and under may prefer the 48″ handle. Users taller than 6’2″ may prefer the 60″ handle.

I give this tool a 5-shovel rating. It is an innovative tool that is made with high quality materials and has more than one use. It stores easily, and though it’s not inexpensive, it has a replaceable blade available for $24.50 (includes shipping) which extends its lifespan indefinitely.

Any way you use it, the curved blade on the CobraHead effortlessly digs into the soil. The basic motion is the same as you would use with a rake or a garden hoe, but the curved and weighted blade makes it less strenuous. The weighted collar that holds the blade helps the blade sink into the soil quite naturally, whether you are gouging roots of weeds or just loosening the soil.
