The wooden handle is smooth and not splintering. This hoe is 52" long and is sturdy and still has life left in it. The connection between the handle and the metal part is solid.
I am located in the King Farm development very close to the Redland Blvd Safeway. Pick up is in front of the garage of a single family home. I am moving and have a lot of items for the kitchen and yard that need new homes. If you are interested, please provide a First name and Cell number. Sometimes the Craigslist app sends things to SPAM. I will respond to you via text. CASH only please.
