I was actually thinking about purchasing another Glaser Wheel Hoe this year.
The price on them seems so ridiculous though--Peaceful Valley has them
(steel handles) for something like $350 and they don't even come with the
hoe. I use ours quite a bit and a 2nd one would be nice, they just seem so
overpriced for what materials are there.

Any yard sales in your area? While you might not find a Glaser, around here old Planet Jr. wheelhoes and similar turn up occasionally. I've acquired quite a collection; generally for less than $20, sometimes a lot less.

Admittedly sometimes they need new handles and rust removal . . .
