Great idea. Good work out. Workmanship iffy.
First one had a weak weld on the horizontal bar with the tines attached. It snapped after about half an hour's use. This caused the tines to go out of line and made further use nearly impossible. Temporarily fixed with a jubilee clip but very limited success. Supplier replaced FOC as soon as the problem was known and the new version appears to be stronger. Hope so!! The tines do tend to get clogged so it's a good idea to have a suitably sized and strong 'prodder' to clear them. I had to use a hammer too as the impacted soil was impossible to free just by hand. If it stays in one piece it will certainly improve fitness - it's hard work and not for the faint hearted or frail!!!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Waste of Money
This is a well made piece of kit. However, it is a waste of money because it doesn't work. The first time you use it the hollow tines fill up with soil. You might expect this to be pushed out as new soil fills the tines. No, the soil in the tiles becomes more compressed and you then have to dig out the soil with a screwdriver or similar. This is a very time consuming operation, which wastes much time as it has to be done after every new use. You can buy aerators with 'open' tines, which more readily allow the soil to be discharged; I would recommend these.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great for a small lawn
Ideal for a small lawn, easy to use, I suppose it helps being 16 and a half stone to push it into the ground. For an unknown reason, just one of the tines clogs up regularly, but I’m very happy with this item. Very quick delivery.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

works well (on small gardens )and good value for money
This worked well in my small garden, especially when the ground was a bit wet. I used it for a few hours and had to exert quite a bit of force to get it fully into the ground by rocking it from side to side. Im hoping to get all of my lawn done before the weld on one of the tines breaks due to having to rock it side to side. No sign off that yet though so maybe it'll last the course! Good value for money and quick delivery.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Puts a hole in the ground .......... not in your pocket
Used this on my lawn, it did exactly what it should do. The earth cores popped out quite easily, those that didn't were where the soil underneath was gritty, these where easily dealt with using a small screwdriver. Definitely best used when soil is damp/wet ........ makes sense I suppose. Aerator is quite sturdy and fit for purpose, certainly think it was worth the money that I paid.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Inexpensive and does the job
Inexpensive and does the job? Have a really heavy clay soil which is very stoney and i am novice at lawn care, so would never be the greatest example to follow. Yes its back breaking work (so would a fork be) and yes the tines clog with my clay soil (a narrow cane and bucket of water clears this) and it does pull clumps of my very uncared for compacted lawn out, but had a heavy rainstorm within days of doing and water drained instead of leaving puddles.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Excellent piece of kit
Excellent piece of gardening kit. Well made, a quality item at an excellent price, not the cheap Chinese tat that swamps eBay. Delivered promptly.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Good value for money but not built strong enough for professional use
Overall I'm pleased with my purchase for the price I paid but I did need to file down the burrs that covered the holes over and straighten a few of the tongs as they arrived bent (possibly due to couriers) . After a few small repairs, it does seem to be holding up well. I think for domestic use this is brilliant value but it does require some reinforcementVerified purchase: YesCondition: New

Not well made but did the job
Arrived with one tack weld on corner tine broken, had to make & fit clamp to secure it firmly in place. Did the job OK after modification. Assume damage occurred in transit.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

A job that needs patience.
It is one of those awkward jobs that there is no adequate tool for unless you pay a reasonable amount of money which does not make sense in a small garden. The holes do get blocked and need a screwdriver to clear the mud but if you have the patience and want your lawn aerated the you'll be fine.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
