An 18-in rolling aerator that drives 1.2-in spikes into compacted turf so water, oxygen, and fertilizer reach the root zone instead of running off the surface. Pushing the roller across dirt, sand, or clay opens thousands of channels in one pass, loosening ground that has hardened under foot traffic. A 13-in splash guard rides ahead of the drum and keeps wet mud off shoes and pant legs. Hollow handle tubing with PP side rollers holds the total weight to 7.5 lb, and rubber grips take strain off the wrists. Three snap-fastened tubes separate for storage in a narrow shed corner.
