Effective and well-built tool   2010-03-11
By New Homeowner (San Diego)
After reading the reviews from other users I purchased the Fiskars Coring Aerator. It arrived within a week and is a solid, well-built tool. I put it right to work and it delivers as advertised. It had rained recently so coring was easy. In areas of poor drainage the coring chamber would plug on occasion. A stick cleared the clogged chamber easily. The user who recommended wearing gloves was right on. I got a few blisters on my palm within five minutes. I am pleased with the results and even aerated my neighbors yard because I like using the tool. I fertilized the day after aerating. Three weeks down the road my lawn is already looking better. I'm looking forward to the fall so I can aerate again.
Great Small Area Aerator   2010-02-14
By Tennis Dad (Bountiful, UT USA)
The bottom line is that Fiskars Coring Aerator is a great aerator for small areas. I took it out on a 40 degree snow/sleet day in February and did some areas that were too small to get with the power aerator that I rented last fall. It easily pentrated the moist soil and took nice 3-inch cores. I had no issues with it plugging and even after a couple hundred cores the cutting surface of each tube was still sharp. The construction, including the handle, shaft and step, is plenty sturdy. I can only find two minor faults with it: 1) there are only two core holes which means 50 step-pushes to take just 100 cores; 2) the spacing of the two core holes is far apart (it has to be in order to allow your foot to put maximum force in the center of the tool) so you have to overlap each step-push in order to get a good aeration pattern. Both issues affect efficiency, not aeration performance. For any area over 500 feet I would rent a power aerator for $35, but for smaller areas the Fiskars Coring Aerator does a great job.
It makes holes   2010-01-08

S. Florida homeowner that just recently purchased this product. The primary reason for this was to help get grub control insecticide into the lawn better than just using the spreader. It is well constructed and works great. Hopefully will see good results this spring when the rains return.
Great Product   2009-12-28
By Jesse Benway (jbenz)
For small yards or spot aeration this is a GREAT product. Renting an aerator for a 15x20 yard isnt very cost effective... This is the perfect alternative. When the ground is moist its very easy to use.
sturdy, effective, easy   2009-12-23
By J. Z. Zamora (austin, tx)
compared to some of the other manual aerators i've seen, this one is very sturdy and ergonomic. it wasn't hard to catch on and put this thing to use. even my girlfriend can do it. the coring aerators seem to work better than the spikes. i'm happy with this purchase.
