Landzie Hollow Tine Lawn Aerator Tool - 42 Inch Core Aerator and Grass Aeration Tool Lawn Tools - Stainless Steel Manual Lawn Aerator Plug Aerator and Aerator Lawn Tool for Soil Compaction Yard Tools

Heavy duty "Get r done' tool. I was surprised how well this went into the ground. I started with the Spikes, and thought they might be too big, Nope! Simple to use and leaves some good size holes, perfect for breaking up hard areas that grass doesn't grow well. Takes a little elbow grease, but works well and is built like a tank!

I was just out using this tool after a recent rain today and decided I should write my review. Looks like I have had this for a year. First off, the metal is very sturdy. I have no expectation that any normal, or even vigorous use would break any part of this tool. I have used it maybe 10 times in one year. The WHOLE trick to this, as people have described, is to catch your lawn after enough rain. If you do that, this tool goes in smoothly to full depth and works perfectly. Be sure to work backwards with it and you will be impressed at how much you can do in a small amount of time.I work in sections so I don't freak out some joint in my hip or knee by the odd new jerking motions. Maybe I do 25 minutes and then do some more later in the day or the next day. If you were young, and the soil was at the proper dampness, you could a 25'x25' section in well under an hour.Now be aware, that if you lawn is like mine, you may catch a day when just the right amount of your lawn is damp and perfect for this tool to work on almost all of the lawn. But there are still sections of my lawn where the dirt is so compact, or dryer, maybe under a tree, that the tool will only go in 4 inches. I think that is just the nature of most lawns. For those areas, which are maybe 10% of my lawn, you either water them more or just be happy with the 4 inches.The tool seems to clean itself just fine with each push, leaving 4 inch plugs. Again, if the soil is damp enough the soil plugs easily push out with each down thrust. Nothing gets stuck anywhere. The tines have stayed sharp enough to work just like day one so far.I am trying to think of a complaint. The top of the rectangle where your foot pushes down. It might be helpful to have the metal have crosscut lines there or something to create some friction so your foot doesn't slide if wet. I put my foot on the top bar. The Landzie videos show people using the bottom one. Just a preference.The cost? I could see people thinking that is a bit much, if they don't wait till their lawn is damp enough. But I do expect it will last for a lifetime. It is a heavy piece of metal. When I curse up at the sky because of some plastic POS garden tool that has snapped off or stopped working, I always include in my curse to god that I would be glad to pay more if there was just a place to buy well made, metal garden tools.I deem this a rare, well-built garden tool that works just as described on reasonably normal soil - if you use it when the soil is damp enough - just like you would need to do if using a large gas powered aerator.

Excellent aerator and first rate customer care. First, this is by far the best manual lawn aerator available and its one-piece design makes a difficult job more manageable. Other aerators I’ve purchased in the past had fatal flaws and were either not effective and/or broke after several uses. This aerator is solidly built and has the weight to withstand the rigors of penetrating compacted soil over and over again. I recommend getting the combo version with spiked and hollow tines as the spiked tines work best to loosen the soil in heavily compacted areas first before using the hollow tines. Also Landzie stands behind their products 100%. One of the spiked tines I received wasn’t bored out enough to fit on the aerator’s attachment nodes so I contacted Landzie and they immediately sent me a full set of replacement tines. Manual aeration is no easy task under any circumstances but if you choose to go that route this is your tool. I selected and purchased this aerator myself so this review is my own.

Would be 5 stars if this dude would work itself. Bhahahahah. Seriously well built! Would def recommend. It’s hard work, to aerate so be ready to do small areas at a time. Don’t be trying to do your whole yard. I was full body sweating after a hour of cooking! This really for tough compacted spots in local areas. I waited after light rain to break my Lanzie out. Worked so good. Hollow tines work well to extract compacted soil. After I got done, I cleared out the tines with a screwdriver. SOLID unit ya’ll.

We’ve used this item for approximately 3/4 of an acre which was slow and a bit tedious but after over 50 to 60 hours of use, I feel that they are made with high quality and are durable. The Hollow tines needed to be tightened after each use of 1 to 2 hours but otherwise, I feel that it is a quality tool and I would definitely recommend to anyone who has the patience to aerate their lawn manually. This tool works best when the ground is moist so it is is importantn to aerate with this tool after a good rain.

Works well! But, it is a workout! I’m in decent shape and do workout/run regularly and if I would have done my whole yard in one go it would have been exhausting. But, I only did various areas combined that needed it, to about ~1000sq ft. I’m 6ft and weight 225lbs and all tines held up well. Ground must be recently watered though or this would be tough to do on dry or caliche ground. I’m pretty athletic and found that if I hopped on it like a pogo stick with both feet it seemed to be easier than bearing down with only one leg after a prolonged time of using. Would not be safe though with someone not as agile or with poor balance and attempting this technique I was using. Another thing is please don’t try to do this with flip flops as my wife did. Ridiculous! Wear boots or tennis shoes. Overall, good product ! Would diff recommend! Love that you can replace tines if needed. But, they are solid and think this tool will last awhile if not lifetime. Other thing I might add is I prefer the 3 tines. I found it easier to get into tight areas. Made it easy to use! Glad I purchased this instead of renting a machine.
