Excellent Tool, Long handle reduces back strain and back pain May 18, 2008 Jeffrey P. Restuccio (Memphis TN USA) At 59 inches, this handle is longer than about 95% of garden tool handles. That is good. Actually, it's great. Short handled tools will cause you to stoop over and hurt your back. Poorly designed tools are the reason for the back pain and muscle soreness so often associated with gardening. This long handle, combined with the numerous interchangeable heads like the cultivator and the flat blade equal less back strain, a more ergonomic and aerobic gardening motion and increased enjoyment of gardening. Win-Win! I highly recommend this product. If you've been stooping over and gardening, straight-legged, for years, you will be amazed at how much better you'll feel after gardening using a wide-legged stance, knee over the foot, rocking motion, cultivating using this ergonomically correct, long handle.

Highland Gal April 12, 2008 Jane E. Oldham (Kilmarnock, Virginia United States) This handle is absolutely a requirement for the weeding hoe. It's light, but very durable.
It will be good, but... July 31, 2006 SAM (Newport Beach, CA) 4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I purchased the Wolf bow rake from Amazon a few weeks ago, not realizing I had to dish out another 20 bucks for the handle. The quality of the bow rake is good -- so I decided to bite the bullet and buy the handle from Amazon today. After I made my purchase, I found out that other on-line vendors [e.g., gemplers.com] have all the Wolf-garten stuff for much cheaper. I guess I could've canceled my order and tried calling Amazon for its price match guarantee -- but spending 30 minutes on the phone to save 10 bucks wasn't worth it to me. I expect the quality of this handle to be good (just like the rake attachment), but Amazon may not be the best place to puchase these items.
