    When buying an electric garden claw, the following criteria are important:

    ergonomics

    Gardening is considered by many people to be one of the most enjoyable pastimes. So that the hobby is really fun, the garden claw should lie well in the hand and not tire the hands and arms.

    Weight

    The weight is also decisive for working comfort. A recommended garden claw weighs no more than 2 kg.

    tips

    Note that electric garden claws are always a bit heavier than conventional models due to the motor or battery.

    number of tines

    Garden claws usually have three or four tines. The higher the number increases, the more powerful the models become. However, they also lose their maneuverability.

    Brands/ where to buy

    Although the garden claw has not been around for long, especially in the electric version, you can get the device in any hardware store. Online shopping offers even more choices.

    care instructions

    After each use, you must remove dirt from the tines to prevent corrosion.
