I inherited this grub hoe from my father. He got it from his father. I didn't even know what the tool was called. When I was able to find a handle, I could not believe it. This handle is beautiful. It is smooth and has a slight curve. Installation took less than 5 minutes because the grub hoe slipped down on the end of the handle perfectly. The handle took about 50 days to receive just like the website stated. It was worth the wait. The only problem now is I don't want to mess up the handle by getting it dirty or beat up. Thanks for the quality product that is crafted right here in the USA.
