"The Confidential View... At hip height the Sneeboer will assist bulb planting for those with bad backs. The cross handle also helps twist the cutter out of the earth. It cuts cleanly into the soil and the action easily removes the clod of earth from the previous hole. The width of the cutter at the end of the hole is slightly narrower than the top, so the last clod has to be shaken out with a bit more force (however, this may be just my horrible sticky clay soil)."
