Patented Rolling Lawn Coring Aerator Yard Grass Pulling Plugs Manual Aeration Tool Push Roller Rotary Compacted Garden Soil Loosening

The media could not be loaded. I’m really happy with this product. Assembly was super straightforward—just follow the instructions and it comes together quickly. Once filled with sand, the roller feels heavy in a good way, and the build quality is solid.I tried it out after a good rain. At first it took a little effort to get it moving, but once it started rolling, it went smoothly. The two wheels help keep it steady, and if you need to move it around, just pull it backward—it’s surprisingly easy.The results were great. Each tine pulled up soil cores just like it’s supposed to. Overall, it’s a sturdy, efficient tool that really does the job. Definitely recommend it!

It works pretty well! The video for assembling it was better for how to attach the springs than the written instructions. Use a funnel to fill the holes with sand after lying it down at an angle.I used it on my lawn after it rained, and it made very good plugs. It was better than the manual aerator.It is ideal for small lawns or someone than wants to workout. It is a little hard to turn, but it can be done.

Definitely a workout but it does its job. Assembly wasn't too horrible but it took me about 30 minutes. Its easy to clean and store. Once you add your sand to it, it should puncture mostly soft ground easily. It will hop around on soil that isn't wet enough. Seems pretty durable and good sized. I love the handles that are used to push around. They are rubber and padded. Just be prepared for a heavy workout. :)

This manual core aerator works better than I expected. It really gets the job done quickly and well. It is well built and easy to put together. I don't think there is anything like it in the market. I'm very happy with it and highly recommend it.

This was tested on Indiana clay soil that was watered for an hour before use. I've done some soil amendments over the years but clearly much more work is needed as well as a more experience with this product. If my opinion changes in the coming seasons, I'll revise this review.The build quality is solid. The aerator has good weight before adding the sand. One bag of sand from a big box store will cover both sides. I did not have an issue with sand escaping mentioned in another review but loading it in was a process (tip the aerator at an angle and use a funnel). The tines extend 2.75" past the wheels so in theory, you could get 2-2.5" plugs. The handle is comfortable and despite the weight, the aerator moves well (in a straight line). The wheels have teeth which give a slight verticutting on the grass.Now for the downsides. The tine holes are small. .5" and a straight tubed so that clogs the tines and the straight tube does not allow the clog to clear. The springs flick the tine which is nice but not enough to clear a clog. A clogged tine pushes soil in making compaction worse. The few plugs I did get were less than an inch long. Turning the aerator is difficult which is not unexpected. The sand really makes a noticeable difference in weight which is great for the lawn but awful for moveability.Compared to the other rolling hand aerators, this has the most weight and best build. The aerator could support larger tines so it's disappointing this size was selected. Clay does not play well with this so water heavy. A liquid aerator application beforehand may also help. The aerator drum is large so storing is something to consider, especially if you have a small/limited garage.I'm not sure I would recommend this product in its current form for clay soils but if you have the money for it, have additional money to make this work better, and don't want to bother renting a bigger/better gas powered aerator from your local hardware store, then good luck.

I had been looking for something like this forever with no luck and was about to buy one of the manual 3 prong step on ones when I saw this in the related items, I bought it immediately and couldn’t be happier.Make sure you add enough sand and it works great, if it’s bouncy/unstable you just need more sand. I used a maybe 2/3 or 3/4 of a 50lb bag of multi purpose sand and it’s doing great, but at some point might add a little more.I haven’t bought any yet, but it’s nice to see that the store also sells spare prongs and springs just in case.

The reviews were good so I went ahead and purchased it, I returned it the same day. The wheel barring broke during 1st use and it only went 1/2 inch into the lawn this is after heavy rain the day before. Not affective at all and a total waste of money!
