New from us in a version for the home garden: the cross hoe gives you super powers and helps immensely with (almost) all construction work in the garden. Whether you need to dig narrow trenches on the plot to lay pipes or cables or install a new garden fence and posts - this tool with its strong, forged blade made of manganese-boron steel is always at hand. It will also help you pick up your patio stones or paving slabs, regardless of whether you want to backfill and level the areas underneath or completely unseal them to create space for insect-friendly greenery. (This would also save on sewage charges, because where rainwater can seep into the open ground, it does not pollute the sewage system). The low weight of the Krumpholz cross hoe is a welcome feature, as it makes even heavy work comparatively easy.

Incidentally, it is not only the shape of the tool head with tip and blade that is typical, but also the way in which it is attached to the easy-to-grip tool handle made of varnished ash wood. When attached, the forged ring in the middle of the head firmly encloses the conically shaped handle at its wide end and is thus held in place. If the wood should shrink due to dryness and the functional part should loosen, it may be sufficient to let the handle hit the ground a few times with the head end first. This will shake everything back into place. Manufacturer's tip: For additional stabilization, soak the tool handle in water for a few hours to cause the wood to swell.
