I had two issues with mine. 1) the part which holds the tool in lost its ball inside and would no longer hold the tool 2) one of my wires snapped where they tighten them down. Kind of hard to use in harder souls, but I like the fact that it doesn’t damage any plant if you run into it.
Saw demo last month I was thinking why not put heads on both ends of shaft and not have all the parts clanging around on your belt while you work. Maybe wire on one end and co-linear on other. Just flip the shaft around in bed if needed.
You are very good at reviewing Josh. Great details. Please keep it up. Would be excited to see you do other reviews in the future and older tools like the neversink zipper, rebellion or farmers friend flameweeder etc. Keep up the great work
Thank you. I enjoyed doing this review. I can't just go out and buy tools to review them though. If people send them to me to review and share, I'd be happy to do that.
OMG. I went to the site to see about ordering one. Almost $39. But not outrages. Then I realized that it only comes with one wire thing and doesn't even include the wood handle. Or shipping costs. I suppose some people need the latest most up to date cool tools. A piece of heavy steel wire or steel strapping and a couple of metal hose clamps. A broom stick and you're good to go. Make any shape you like put them on broomsticks and you don't even have to do the changing. Anyone handy enough for gardening should be able to look at this video and make their own. I understand people have to make a living but geewiz guys. You should at least give the old folks and veterans a break.
Lower price than the Cadillac model. You could take a pair of vice grips to pinch the metal to hold the wire tighter on the Cadillac model. You could also just buy the wire heads, and mount them on an old Leaf broom handles you have.
What's wrong with the moutineer?(spelling). I bought one and I like it. The only thing is, you HAVE to have the rigjt soil. But I don't understand the change. Lol.
@@agdayem I keep chickens and rats are taking their food and digging tunnels. They have eaten growing beetroot and other crops and stored vegetables and gnaw through anything they chose. It's the same every winter whether I have chickens or not, I get rats. I'm not a fan.
Vanderlynden Jengold Interesting... I don't have experience with them in my garden (yet) and hope not to in the future. Wondering if you found any ways to get rid of them? Also why do they appear in the winter and not summer?
@@agdayem In summer food is plentiful. Less so in winter. I employ target-specific avenues in killing them; lockable bait boxes designed for rats. I also build my own. I don't want to kill wildlife, yet rats. slugs and other pests can be troublesome. For instance, I have avoided a wasp nest all year. I create habitat for insects, birds, bats. I feed birds and hedgehogs, I plant for polliators. I leave as light a carbon footprint as I can. If rats weren't so destructive and spread less disease I'd live in peace with them too.
I had problem hoeing with the traditional dutch hoe and bought a stirrup or oscillating hoe and it saves me so much time and effort. If they are too expensive try and make your own. I think they are worth the money in the long run though.
@@VanderlyndenJengold I'm a blacksmith. I have made several versions of different kinds of shoes and other garden tools. It's fun to do and cost me almost nothing.
Do some research on korean natural farming M. Cho I do the natural fertilizer last summer he put 4ml of sugar per 1 liter water (I work with rain barrel ) ...............no weed all summer long I never saw that in my life !
I priced them and no offense but i can do the same thing with a wire hanger. I cant justify spending almost if not more than 400 dollars for a hand tool. All these you tube channels are turning gardening into a rich mans hobby.
Good Morning. Thanks Josh. Hope Y'all have a wonderful day!
You're welcome. You too!
Thanks for showing the details so well! It is very helpfull to see the diferences so well. Love your channel.
looks nice and I like the simplicity of the change out of different attachments weather looks scary glad you have a grow tunnel /green house

U could wrap a rubberband around the ends of those attachments..that would keep them from slipping off the hook. Just an idea ?
Neversink is an interesting bunch.
Next time you are in Africa, bring us one.
Respect from Africa 🇿🇦
Not the hardest tool to build yourself ;)
@@UA-00-ANO I'm in my shed
Thanks for sharing your reviews on both! We are in the market for some new hand tools this season and that was very helpful. :)
The price was way higher, in my memory, when this came out... Happy to see that they are more "realistic" today^^
the good old wire weeder, reimagined. Very nice.
david
What gauge of wire is used for the wire weeders?
i can see my yard helper cleaning out the shed and throwing parts out.
Nerversink farm is an awesome channel he is so efficent
How much does it cost?
It depends on which attachments you get. There are links in the description that will bring you to the products.

Would love to support new ideas. But when they try to gouge the customer, I just laugh and turn away. A $1 piece of wire and some hardware.

I bought the Mutineer and the head would fall out while weeding very frustrating. Iam reluctant to purchase the new tool.
Oh no! We haven't had that issue with our Mutineer this season. I would reach out to them, maybe they can help you out.

I just bought the last version lol. Dang.
The Mutineer is an awesome tool.
Slugs and rats are my current concerns. Rats more so. The older ones are more difficult to tackle, they're too shrewd.
Vanderlynden Jengold How are the rats affecting your garden? Are they eating your crops?

Vanderlynden Jengold I'm sure you'll have them out of your garden soon with those tactics.. Good luck mate..
Made similar myself for like 5 Bucks, but yea, wire weeders are nice.
Ae Norist Please share how you did it yourself?
Why do all of these cool tools, even broad forks, have to be so dang expensive?!
I had problem hoeing with the traditional dutch hoe and bought a stirrup or oscillating hoe and it saves me so much time and effort. If they are too expensive try and make your own. I think they are worth the money in the long run though.

I do the natural fertilizer last summer
he put 4ml of sugar per 1 liter water (I work with rain barrel ) ...............no weed all summer long
I never saw that in my life !
o man we got distracted....
Wonderful sir good tools 👏💖 sir please tools is buy now? How many price sir? I am trye his my Farm so give me tools so good work sir 👍🙏
I'm first! Now give me tool!
You won! Congratulations!
Yours is an amazing achievement, did you know you were going to do so well when you woke up this morning? Who will play you when they make the film?
Not sure why they would make the design worse.
It's not worse, it's less sophisticated. That's not the same thing. The new one is simpler and cheaper, without any significant loss in functionality.
I hope he's not getting rid of the original. Not a big fan of the new wing nut type.
