When we first designed the CobraHead Long Handle, we wanted to make it as comfortable as possible for people to do their weeding while standing up. For that reason, we offer three different handle sizes. The handle lengths are 48″, 54″, and 60″, but actual tool length with the blade attached is 8 inches longer.

I recently had the privilege of spending the month of November in Oaxaca, Mexico. I was there to work on improving my Spanish, but I also had the opportunity to do a bit of cultural exploration. Right in the heart of the city is the Jardín Etnobotánico de Oaxaca (Ethnobotanical Garden of Oaxaca).
