No matter how good your soil, you’ll have stones to pull now and then. Rather than grubbing around on your knees and straining your back, you can remove stones from a comfortable standing position with our Garden Hand. Its seven hardened-steel tines cut through soil, grabbing and extracting stones from 1" to 4-1/2" in diameter. You can toss stones away with a flick of the wrist. Smooth ash handle.

Comments about Garden Hand:

I had a tool with similar tines, shaped more like a fan rake which was my favorite tool - after 20 years of service, it has retired with many of the tines missing. It was perfect for scratching out small weeds, picking up leaves like a pitchfork, spot thatching, reaching around tender plants without damaging.

Must have garden tool.

I live on an old lot that used to be a small trailer court. When working the ground I am alway turning up rocks and other stuff. Also getting up in age, and bending over constantlyto remove that debris is not easy, but this little tool has made it a lot easier for me.

Comments about Garden Hand:

I saw this product on HGTV's program, Gardening By The Yard with Paul James. He demonstrated it as a Rock Rake. I needed help with some river rock that had been displaced by digging dogs. I have a bad back and tried sitting on a stool and picking the rocks up and placing them in a wheel barrow. This only made my hips hurt worse. Using the Garden Hand, I was able to move more rocks quickly and save myself a lot of pain and agony. It would be nice if it had an ergonomic type handle and also a padded handle. I think I will buy some of the slip-on padded handle covers and put it on my Garden Hand. I love it!!

Comments about Garden Hand:

As anyone living in northeast PA knows, stone/rocks are a crop here. I didn't have to think twice to know how helpful this tool would be for me. It wasn't what I came to Gardener's Supply looking for, but it sure fit the bill, so I bought it.

I had removed a couple rows of hedges and used this tool to go through the soil afterwards and it really did its job. Found many rocks and pieces of the stump. Very little bending.
