The CobraHead “steel fingernail” blade design is now available in a pocket-sized hand tool that you can always have with you. Like the Original CobraHead Weeder & Cultivator, the CobraHead Mini makes light work of weeding, cultivating, planting and transplanting. This one small tool fills the role of several garden tools including trowels, small hand forks, dibbles, and hand hoes. The Mini size fits in areas impossible to work with larger tools. It is an excellent weeder for grasses and low lying weeds and is very effective on tap roots. Its sharp narrow blade cuts through the toughest soils.

Features & Benefits:

• It weeds, digs, cultivates, edges, furrows, de-thatches, and transplants with ease
• CobraHead out-weeds and out-digs all similar tools
• The time proven blade design breaks up almost any soil
• Pulls weeds right down to the tap roots
• Comfortable handle allows easy right-hand or left-hand action
• Weighs less than 5 ounces
• Measures 8.75 inches long
• Made in the USA

Construction:

The CobraHead® blade is made of forged, tempered steel. The handle is made of a wood fiber reinforced recycled plastic. The way the steel is set into the handle ensures it will never come loose.

Q & A with the Inventor:

Q: What makes the CobraHead a precision weeder?
A: The relatively narrow blade head and the pointed tip let the CobraHead work as though its blade were a steel fingernail. You can get right next to delicate plants and grab the weed and pull it out.

Q: Is the CobraHead effective on all weeds?
A: The CobraHead appears to be as close as you can get to a universal weeder. I find it's the best tool for grasses of all types. It does a great job on low-lying weeds such as purslane and spurge. It is great on dandelions and tap-rooted weeds. And because of its scalping ability even the weeds that can't be pulled out can be cut off quite deep underground.

Q: How do you grab weeds with the CobraHead?
A: If I push the blade into the ground just beyond the root and crown of the weed and pull the tool towards me, it pulls the whole weed loose. Usually I can pull out dandelions and deep rooted weeds in a single motion, with minimal disturbance to plants around the weed.

Q: What about cultivation? Why would I want to use a single bladed tool as a cultivator?
A: The unique blade shape of the CobraHead has proven itself for years as an extremely efficient soil-cutting tool. What it may lose in width covered with a single pass is more than offset by the ease with which it cuts soil. I find its ability to break up hard soil and pull up weed roots at the same time to be the best way to cultivate my beds.

Q: What else does the CobraHead do well?
A: I use it as a transplanter. I almost never use a trowel anymore. I use it as a seeder to either dig a small hole or make a furrow line. I use it to de-thatch very weedy areas that need to be cleaned up. I use it as an edger both in the garden and along walkways. I find new uses all the time. The CobraHead is the first tool I take with me when I go into the garden. - Noel Valdes
