The 18V Rechargeable Garden Cultivator digs simultaneously with three counter-rotating tines to weed and aerate soil. The counter-oscillating metal tines help prevent weeds from tangling, or wrapping around the machinery. You can also remove any of the tines to work in tight spots, or in just one section of the garden at a time.
The cultivator worked nicely on a sandy/soil area. However, in a firmer, harder soil surface we had to use a shovel to break up some of the top layer to effectively use the cultivator. There is a telescoping shaft for adjusting to users of different heights and tailoring reach into hard-to-get-at areas. One dig: the directions could have been written more clearly.
