Tools and Hardware Reviews of Black & Decker GC818 18-Volt Cordless Electric Garden Cultivator
Customer Review: A life-saver for small garden cultivation and transplants
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't say enough good things about this product. I guess the only warning is in line with what other people have said, namely that this is not a substitute for a roto-tiller (nor was it intended to be). That said, however, it does wonders for loosening and cultivating soil. I have a small vegetable garden, and twice a year (before starting my winter and summer crops) I used to dread breaking out a claw, or a hoe, or a shovel to loosen the invariably compacted soil. This cultivator did the trick in no time. And I hardly broke a sweat.
One other area I have to note: you know how when you buy a dozen potted flowers or shrubs and you have to dig out holes to put them in? Well, we have clay soil in my neighborhood, so I always was able to dig down a few inches no problem. Then the annoying 5 minute per hole job of using a small hand spade to dig out a rough circle 6-12 inches down. What a nightmare.
Today (and this is what prompted my review) I used the cultivator to do this job. I placed the tines over the area I wanted to dig out. It loosened a few inches. I scooped out that now loose dirt with no effort. I then placed the cultivator in the newly created hole, and did the same thing again. One more time, and before you know it had an 8 inch deep hole with a pile of loose, loamy soil set to the side. Voila! In goes the plant, use the loose soil to fill in the gaps and I'm done. Easily saved me two hours of work today.
Anyway, I highly recommend this product. I got it at Lowes for $100 and haven't looked back.

Description of Black & Decker GC818 18-Volt Cordless Electric Garden Cultivator
The Black & Decker 18-volt cordless rechargeable garden cultivator is ideal for cultivating garden beds, landscape beds and weeding. This garden cultivator also preps beds for planting and prepping dry and dead spots for seeding. The 18 volts of power provide an effortless and quick way to weed and aerate soil.

The telescoping shaft adjusts for the perfect length, allowing the user to operate it standing up without bending over. This upright design offers less fatigue while cultivating. The soft grips and adjustable auxiliary handle provide this power tool with maximum comfort. The garden cultivator comes with Black & Decker's 2-year warranty.Enjoy gardening again with this innovative cultivator from Black & Decker. Perfect for general weeding or the cultivation of flower, vegetable, or landscape beds, the #GC818 helps prepare the soil for planting and seeding so your flowers and produce are more likely to take root and flourish. Powered by an 18-volt battery, this tool features tines that can get in between different plantings; other tines counter oscillate to keep weeds from wrapping around and slowing things down. There's also a telescoping shaft you can position to the ideal length--a feature that helps protect your back from strain caused by continually bending over. Finally, comfortable grips and an adjustable auxiliary handle mean you can work longer without over-taxing muscles and joints.
