This is a really nice upgrade from using a traditional garden fork to aerate my lawn. It does come fully disassembled, so you’ll need to put everything together—the spikes, pole, and plate—but it’s not too hard. It even comes with the Allen key you need, which is a nice touch.What I love most is the spring-loaded design. With my garden fork, I had to slam it into the ground, pull it out, and repeat—that gets tiring fast. With this aerator, I just step on it, and the spring mechanism helps pop it back up after each press. Much easier on the body.The foam grip handle is also a great feature—makes it more comfortable to use for longer sessions. Just a tip: make sure your soil is softened a bit before use. Lightly watering it a few hours beforehand helps. If it’s too dry, it’s hard to push in; if it’s too wet, it gets messy.Highly recommend for anyone looking to manually aerate their yard with less effort.

It’s super easy to assemble, took about 15 minutes. The instructions are basic but you’ll get it. The idea of the nails is really nice because you get smaller holes. The other aerators leave usually large holes. The idea works, went around the yard a few times and it does work. Super dense soil it has trouble. Follow the instructions about installing the nails row by row. The only issue I have is the metal could have been thicker, the handle felt a bit stressed going in to super dense soil. For the most part this should work for most yards. Still a solid simple tool.
