Cambridge, WI – July, 2009 – CobraHead LLC (a leader in ecologically friendly gardening products) is now using E-Coat epoxy coating on the blade of their CobraHead Weeder and Cultivator and the locking collar of their CobraHead Long Handle. E-Coat is a special formulation organic polymer that provides a good looking, tough and rust resistant black coating. The coating is durable but will wear away on the small tool as its blade is in contact with the ground. As it wears away, it breaks down into non-toxic, bio-degradable components.
Readers of this magazine will certainly, I am sure, appreciate the features and value-for-money cost of these high quality tools. The tools are made in the USA from US sourced materials. Not often you can say that about a product nowadays.
The short handled version incorporates a bio-plastic handle comprised of post-industrial recycled plastic and strengthening fibers from agriculturally grown flax.
The long handled version is custom sized according to the user’s height and is perfect for anyone who has difficulty bending over. Left or right handed gardeners will find both versions comfortable to use.
The tools have a knife-quality steel blade of a unique "cobrahead" shape that easily cuts through soil. The blade is best thought of as a “steel fingernail®” that grabs weeds and pulls them out intact, including the whole root. The edges of the blade are quite sharp, so the tool is also effective for scalping and cutting off weeds at or below ground level. Its weeding capabilities are superior to all other small weeders currently being marketed.
The short handle CobraHead® Weeder and Cultivator weighs just 9.2 oz and is 13" long. It is available for purchase through the www.cobrahead.com website ($24.95 including shipping) and at select garden stores and catalogs.
The long handle CobraHead® Weeder and Cultivator weighs 2.4 pounds and comes in handle lengths of 48", 54" and 60" (inches). The blade assembly adds 8" to the length. It is available for purchase through the www.cobrahead.com website ($59.95 including shipping) and at select garden stores and catalogs.
