PD131 - Lee Valley Collinear Hoe
This hoe is a joy to use. It is extremely lightweight with a thin blade designed for cutting weeds, not moving earth.
The blade is offset so the bottom edge is in line with the bottom edge of the handle (hence the name collinear). This keeps the blade travelling in a straight line even after hitting an obstruction.
Designs where the leading edge of the hoe is forward of the handle line (more usual) require more effort to keep the blade under control. The hoe is designed to be used in a sweeping motion beside you, rather than in front of you.
The two included blades are 6" and 4" wide and are easily removed for sharpening or for replacing. The 4" blade is most suited for use around closely spaced plants.
The tool is 66" overall with a 60" hardwood handle, long enough to allow you to work with your back straight.
One of the best weeding hoes available.
The blade is offset so its bottom edge is in line with the bottom edge of the handle – hence the name collinear. This geometry keeps the blade travelling in a straight line even after hitting a stone or root, unlike conventional hoes where the leading edge sits forward of the handle line.
Rather than chopping in front of you, the collinear hoe is designed for a sweeping motion beside the body. The thin blade skims just below the soil surface, severing weed roots without turning the soil – a faster and less tiring approach to weeding between rows.
The 4" blade is most suited for weeding around closely spaced plants. The wider 6" blade is more efficient in open rows where more blade contact per pass is helpful.
Yes. Both the 6" and 4" blades are easily removed for sharpening or replacement. Keeping a sharp edge is important for the collinear hoe to cut cleanly rather than push weeds aside.
The hardwood handle is 60" long, giving the tool a 66" overall length. This is long enough for most users to work with their back straight, reducing strain during extended weeding sessions.
