Hint: spray with WD40 before use, makes it easier. Reapply every so often and great. **Q: Are the tines narrower at the bottom to aid ejection of cores or the same diameter from top to bottom?** A: The tines are the same diameter all the way along the length. But at the bottom of the hollow tubes which are supposed to cut into the soil are cut at an angle ( would guess about 45Β° )to aid the cutting into the soil. They are a great idea but like I said in my review when I've used mine after 2 to 3 compressions into the soil the tubes are full so won't cut again. So I have to clean them out before being able to use correctly again. Regardless of how hard or soft the grass/soil is. **Q: i have ordered this and wanted to asis it possible to get this dispatched a bit quicker. need to seed lawn and i need to areate the lawn first. thanks** A: yes but it depends on the ground **Q: Is it best to use this on wet soft ground, or dry harder ground (to clog less)?** A: I used it on wet clay soil (not boggy) and it worked really well. I doubt it would work on a dry clay lawn. I found going in at a slight angle helped too. It takes a couple of goes for the clay pellets to come out of the tubes but you just keep going and it works. It took about 45 minutes to do 40 Sqm lawn. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Require good stamina, depends on soil type *by S***T on 1 December 2021* I'll start by saying I'm glad I got this, however it required a lot of effort for my medium sized lawn.I cored my lawn in spring as it had been quite compact for some time. As a result, the cores clogged the tool frequently, and most of my time was spent using my garden fork to clear the tool between impressions. One hour, a sore back, and some blisters later, my lawn was looking quite bare and cored. I filled with a sharp sand and compost mix when dry, and raked it in. Fast forward a few weeks and my lawn was draining substantially better and looking beautiful and lush, with a reduction of moss. The work was worth it. There are much easier ways, and better electric tools, but if you are fortunate enough to have the time, and physical ability to do this, then it can give good results. Watch out for stones and roots under the surface. Great pocket money earner for the kids!I've included screenshots from my video I made on YouTube about the process. ### ⭐ Very poor design. The bottom of the hollow bore where ... *by D***Y on 22 April 2017* Well. I thought to myself, don't always go on reviews. I wish I had now.This clogs up from the word GO!!!Because the hollow tube is straight it clogs straight away, I agree with the other review, it should be tapered and a bigger bore at one end to make it easier for the cores to push out of the top.The soil compacts so much that it is impossible to get the compacted soil out. I am quite a fit person and this was really hard work on my 2 not too large lawns. I had to keep stopping to clear the bores. I spent more time clearing the hollows than anything else.Listen to the other reviews. It's not for the faint hearted and you will spend a long time clearing the hollows. Very poor design. The bottom of the hollow bore where it goes in to the ground is blunt and this makes it even harder to push in to the soil. It doesn't matter what the soil type is, it will still clog up and no soil cores will come out as they are compacted in so hard.I got a long screwdriver to push the mud cores out and it took ages. Expelled more energy removing the soil cores from the hollow bores.This is not fit for purpose and as such under the sale of goods act it is eligable for return as faulty/not fit for purpose.Dave. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Keeps blocking *by A***W on 17 November 2024* Appreciate I have clay type soil, but the thing keeps blocking! Built strong but gave up using it after 30 mins as it kept blocking --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/48152722-draper-garden-lawn-aerator-spike-30565-manual-aeration-spiked-fork](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/48152722-draper-garden-lawn-aerator-spike-30565-manual-aeration-spiked-fork) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
