Advantages: Easier on soft soil

Disadvantages: Still cant use it on the hard soil or clay

Allthough I take nothing away from the idea of the garden claw, the advertising for it really disgusts me.

The Garden claw is a very usefull peice of gardening equipment. The idea of it is to take the strain out of turning up soil. Its claw design means you can twist the fork into the soil rather than have to push into the ground. The idea is sound and I'm sure that it helps out in some situations, but the advert allways shows either soft soil or the fork allready in the hard ground. trying to use the garden claw in very hard and dry soil can be just as hard if not harder than using a normal every day fork.

The mini claw on the other hand I think is just useless for the price it would cost against a normal trowel. Churning up the soil in window box's is not that difficult and does not require a special tool like the mini claw. I think they were just trying to get that bit of extra cash out of the patented claw design.

Good idea has a use but still is not a full proof tool
