From the Manufacturer Is Your Lawn Gasping For Air?The Yard Butler Spike Aerator has sharp spikes that slip into the ground to loosen the soil, and a smooth, strong "powder coated" resin finish that resists rusting . Old lawns and lawns where a lot of activity takes place become compacted. Also thatch from dead leaves builds up creating a barrier, keeping water and air from reaching the roots. The symptoms are thin turf with poor color and bare patches that don't respond to watering and fertilizer. Review: Darn Good Tool - I purchased this manual lawn aerator a couple of weeks ago after deciding (based on desertcart customer reviews) it would probably be the best choice for use in the clay soil my lawn grows in. When my soil is dry it is like concrete and when it's wet it is gooey and sticky. I waited for some rain to thoroughly moisten the soil into the root zone; knowing that there was no way I could effectively use the aerator when the soil was dry and hard. It is key to have the soil moist through the lawn's root zone, especially in clay soil. So far I have completed aerating the backyard portion of my lawn. Being a "dot-the-eyes-and-cross-the-tees" kind of guy, I tracked how much time it took me to do the backyard lawn, which was a total of 4 hours 25 minutes. Based on the square footage of my backyard, my production rate with the aerator was an average of approximately 325 square feet per hour (slower in the compacted areas, faster in the not-compacted areas). Even though I have clay soil, this tool worked very well to punch holes in the soil profile of my lawn. In those areas where the soil was most compacted it did require more serious downward pressure and effort with my foot (and some side-to-side wiggling) to get the 3-inch spikes all the way down into the soil. In the less compacted (or not compacted at all) areas the spikes went in to their full length with a minimum of downward foot pressure. I worked the entire backyard in parallel straight rows/columns, punching the row of 4 spikes at the recommended 6" to 8" apart (locating my parallel rows/columns about 3" to 4" apart). I found that is was easier to see where you'd punched your holes if the lawn was recently mowed. So far I have had no problems at all with this aerator after 4 hours 25 minutes of use. It is strongly constructed of steel with very sturdy, stout welds. The only thing I would change is to have it built maybe 3 or 4 inches longer (the total length of the tool is 36 inches). I am 6 feet tall and have to bend over a bit when using it, which causes me some back soreness after prolonged use (I'm 66 years old and my back isn't in tip-top shape any more). Using the aerator is a bit of a workout and can cause you to break into a sweat if it's warm outside. I'm very happy with this tool and will use it on my entire lawn, after which I will fertilize. Will its use improve the condition of my lawn? I think it will, but time will tell. Review: Easy To Use - I just received this item a couple of days ago and used it for the first time this morning. It appears to be well-made, and I've found it easy to use. My soil is very compacted and required that I use it "a step at a time" sometimes alternating each foot. Where the soil was softer I was able to insert the tines in multiple areas before taking a step forward, which made me able to cover more area. It is a slow process so I am doing small sections at a time. A larger, mechanical aerator would be nicer and quicker, but for this money this little Yard Butler suits my needs. I realize that getting my lawn back up to standard is a work in progress and will take time. I will update review after I've watered and treated the lawn, but for now I consider this a useful tool. Best to use after a light rain. ## Features - Gardening Tool for Lawn Health: This aerator helps prevent long-term damage to your lawn by breaking up compaction and dethatching your lawn - Ergonomic Aerator Tool: With cushioned handles and a foot bar for extra leverage, this lawn care tool ensures that aerating your lawn is easy work - Reduce Runoff & Evaporation: Spike aeration strengthens your lawn's tolerance to heat and drought; reduces runoff, evaporation, and puddling - High-Quality Gardening Supplies: Yard Butler garden tools are designed to last a lifetime so you can stop buying plastic or cheap metal products that don't hold up - Nurture with Yard Butler: Gardening tools and supplies designed to nurture your connection with the earth and passion for gardening - Four 3-inch spikes penetrate and loosen compacted soil - Spike aeration loosens soil and thatch to let air, water, and fertilizer down to the roots - Spike aeration also stimulates root growth by separating the roots - Your lawn will look better with less water and fertilizer - Lifetime warranty ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000CSYMRC | | Best Sellers Rank | #9,211 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #20 in Manual Lawn Aerators | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (364) | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 2.25 pounds | | Item model number | IM-7C | | Manufacturer | Yard Butler | | Product Dimensions | 37 x 10 x 1 inches | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Yard Butler - **Material:** steel - **Finish Type:** Powder Coated,Rust-resistant - **Specification Met:** NSF 61, ANSI 372 - **Manufacturer:** Yard Butler ## Images ![IM-7C Spike Grass Aerator - Lawn Care Tool for Aerating - Long-Handled - Power-Coated Steel Construction - Comfortable Cushioned Handles Garden Tool - Easy to Use - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/5184x9sapCL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Darn Good Tool *by F***R on October 31, 2015* I purchased this manual lawn aerator a couple of weeks ago after deciding (based on Amazon customer reviews) it would probably be the best choice for use in the clay soil my lawn grows in.

After cleaning the soil, I watered the lawn. Only then did I use this aerator. Very simple to use. Just put your foot inside and step on the ground, and put your weight on it. I walked around my lawn with this. It was not back breaking work. It did not compact your soil as others have mentioned. If you watered the soil, and the soil is wet, it will put holes through the soil then pull up some soil. It loosened up my top soil. I then proceded to plant the grass seeds. After 1 week, grass has started growing and evenly too. My lawn is starting to look good, nice and green. I highly recommend this. Actually, the reason I bought this is because my neighbor has one, and he used it on his lawn. His lawn looks great, so I just followed his lead. ## Frequently Bought Together - Yard Butler Spike Aerator - Durable Lawn Aerator for Easy Lawn Care & Healthy Growth - Prevent Lawn Damage by Breaking Up Compaction - Ergonomic Gardening Tool - Yard Butler ID-6C Manual Lawn Coring Aerator - Grass Dethatching Turf Plug Core Aeration Tool - Grass Aerators for Small Yards - Loosen Compacted Soil - Gardening Hand Tools - Gray, 37 Inches --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/145098920-im-7c-spike-grass-aerator-lawn-care-tool-for-aerating](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/145098920-im-7c-spike-grass-aerator-lawn-care-tool-for-aerating) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
