Garden Claw Gold

Pros: Easy on the Back, Does the Job of a small Tiller, and it is Adjustable.
Cons: I only works if turned clockwise. I'd like to work some other muscles.

The Garden Claw Gold, is a wonderful addition or replacement to the arsenal of garden tools that often occupy our sheds and garages. The Garden Claw's height is adjustable.
A half twist of the Handles that form a "T" near the top of the tool, easily...

Pros: Good tool if you have good soil.
Cons: If you don't have good soil your in trouble.

This tool does it's job well when you have a loose soil. The problem is when you have a clay soil there is no way that this tool is easier than a shovel. A persons arms are not as strong as their legs and this makes it very hard to use for a long...

Pros: Easy to use
Cons: May cause blisters if used for long periods of time.

I purchased the garden claw today and let me tell you it sure does the job. It removes weeds and really tears up the ground. I highly recommend it.

Pros: Can't think of any.
Cons: Very difficult to use. Requires a lot of upper body strength.

The Garden Claw Gold claims to make gardening easier by letting you easily dig up or turn over soil. However, it only took me a few hours using one to realize just how difficult it really was.

First of all, the Garden Claw can only be used on loose soil. Forget about trying to pluck weeds or dead grass with it because it simply takes too much strength to turn the device. Unlike a shovel which uses your body weight, the Garden Claw requires 100% upper body strength (all bicep power here) to use. It is very fatiguing. You're constantly twisting using only your arms and shoulders in a very awkward and unnatural position. I may not be a body builder, but I'm a 25 year old young man in terrific physical shape. If I'm having this much trouble, how well would an elderly woman do?

It would make for an excellent piece of home exercise equipment however!

I just don't see where the Garden Claw is effective. You could do a better job with a small shovel and a dirt rake in much less time and with much less effort.

And that's......just my epinion.

Pros: It really works!
Cons: None except I work up a sweat sometimes - but that is a good thing!

I highly recommend this and would not have tried it had I not read all the positive reviews. I am amazed at how well this tool works. With just a twist, it pulls up hunks of grass - leaving behind relatively workable soil below. I am able to clear out new gardening areas with great control and ease. It is also a great workout.

Pros: Durable, easy to use, heavy duty
Cons: Doesn't cut through the clay without becoming exhausted

The claw is very easy to use....it turns the soil, is very light, but very durable. BUT, if you have very heavy clay type soil it is exhausting. I would suggest not using this in a large garden unless you have tilled the soil to a near fine state.

I think the Claw will last forever if used in the right area.

Pros: Fairly well made, maybe good for really tight spaces.
Cons: not as easy to use as they claim on tv

For the $ I don't rate the claw very high. I guess it's ok for working in very tight spaces between flowers, but if the soil is hard at all you will need to be a body builder to get the claw into the soil. I've also noticed (though I'm short so maybe it's just me..) that as you turn it it tends to "spin out" like a dril many times instead of tilling the soil. The handle could never stay tightly bolted, though never came off or anything. It does have adjustable heights for the claw. It's not a bad buy, but not a great one. I personally got worn out using it for a short time, I think they should advertise it as gym equipment rather then lawn equipment. For the money I'd just stick with a small shovel or hoe.
