Hardware Parts Kit

This hardware parts kit contains all the metal parts you need to build your own wheel hoe (except the wheel, which you can Get Here). The steel parts are rough-cut so you will need to file away sharp edges and spray-paint the pieces before bolting them together, as this web site fully explains (Click Here To Begin Reading The Instructions).


In addition to the parts, every kit contains heavy-paper templates to help you make the wood hoe handles, as explained in Step 4 of the instructions. Here's a picture of the paper templates (one is for pine handles and the other for hardwood handles):

The kit will be shipped to you in a Priority Mail box and the cost of shipping is included in the price given below.

Ash Handle Set

Step 4 of the instructions tells you exactly how to make your own inexpensive wheel hoe handles. Or you can just buy a set of handles from me right here and now. The handles I sell are not inexpensive, but you will be hard pressed to find better quality.


Please note that the handles I sell are sized to accommodate people of average height. Click Here For More Information About Handle Sizing


These handles are made of 7/8” thick seasoned ash. Two handles and an ash spreader dowel are included in the set. I have gone to the trouble of precisely drilling the handles for the bolts and spreader dowel, so you don’t have to do any of that. You will, however, need to give these handles a coating of wood sealer (i.e., boiled linseed oil). Prior to applying the preservative, you may want to sand the handles a bit. They are already sanded good enough for an outdoor tool handle but some people will want to give the handles a little more smoothing.

PRICE: $75.00 (cost of shipping is included in price)
Note: Handle sets are shipped by UPS

8” Spring Steel Hoe Blade

The Planet Whizbang Wheel Hoe Parts Kit (shown at the top of this page) includes one of these incredibly durable spring steel hoe blades with chamfer-sharpened edges, and under normal conditions the blade will last you for years. But if you are making your own hoe form scratch, or you just want to have a spare blade on hand, you can order one or more right now. Each blade comes with the attachment hardware, as shown in the picture.


AVAILABILITY: In stock & ready to ship
PRICE: $23.00 each (cost of shipping is included in price)

QUANTITY 1 blade $23.00 2 blades $41.00 3 blades $59.00 4 blades $76.00 10 blades $160.00 20 blades $225.00

8” Hoe Arm 
With Spring Steel Blade

Both of these items are included in the metal parts kit but you from-scratch hoe makers can purchase just the parts, as shown in the picture.


AVAILABILITY: In stock & ready to ship
PRICE: $49.00 (cost of shipping is included in price)

10" Hoe Arm 
With Spring Steel Blade

This 10" oscillating blade arm and blade gives you an extra 2" of cultivating width. But you should be aware that the extra width amounts to a little extra drag on the tool. In other words, hoeing is not as easy with a 10" blade as it is with the "standard issue" 8" blade. Unlike with the 8" arm and blade above, this hoe arm is powder-painted bright red.
AVAILABILITY: In stock & ready to ship
PRICE: $55.00 (cost of shipping is included in price)
