Tools and Hardware Reviews of Compost Aerator CA-36 Turner (Gardening Soil Fertilizer Mixer) Made of SteelCustomer Review: Wings don't unfold on the upstroke Summary: 2 Stars
The wings fold to the side on the way down, but don't open on the way up. Essentially it just becomes a sturdy metal pole with a handle to stir the compost with.
I have a small compost bin, perhaps if I had a larger one the weight of the compost would open it up or there would be a longer upstroke. However, I wouldn't bet on it. Even if I bang it on cement it doesn't open. It is sturdy and well-made but the design flaw seems to be that compost gets in the hinges and makes them stick.
