Very useful,
I used this brush hook for cutting through blackberries, tall grass and soft weeds a few times. The hook edge cut the blackberry bushes well. The blade can be sharpened too. The handle is long, great for teaching into the blackberry bushes with less scratching of me or my clothes.
My one word of warning is the little screw that holds the hook onto the handle. I installed the longest screw of my own that I could find (that would fit) and it worked for a while. But when cutting blackberries and tall grass, before very long the head of the screw sheared off. So I bought Two stainless steel bolts, washers and nuts, slightly larger than the hole for the screw. My neighbor drilled through the metal cuff on the hook, through the handle and out the other side in two places. We avoided drilling through the welded part. Those bolts, nuts and washers cost only 85cents each (after tax). Now I believe my brush cutter hook will stay attached. I am very pleased with this long handled slash hook after I put the 2 bolts in. The wee little screw provided is not enough. -
'member when companies used to care?
The handle seems nice enough. The blade seems nice. But the handle is a pretty loose fit in the eye of the blade. No way that wimpy 3/8" sheetmetal screw is going to keep that blade attached to the handle long-term. I'm already skittish it's going to fly off... Can't tell if blade is as sharp as it's supposed to be? Is it too much to ask for even a scrap of paper with an assembly diagram and sharpening instructions? And maybe usage instructions? The 3 second youtube video is hardly exhaustive training :-)
