Meet the Coronas! Mr Loper, Mrs Hedger and rose trimmer. I love my Coronas. Mr Loper and I have…read morebeen together for over 20 years. Lately I've been pretty brutal to them, even cutting shrub roots. It was time for a tune up and Hower's had great reviews. His shop is his home. Basically he has a drop box in front of his garage to leave your items in. Then when promised which was next day for me, you pick them out of the box and leave your payment. The sharpening looks good and I intend to enjoy my Coronas now even more!

My kitchen knives get heavy use, and I haven't had them sharpened in a minute…read more The last spot I went to, used to do a. Good job, but in recent months has not. In fact they even damaged one of my blades. I found Howers thru yelp. The process was super easy and the price is reasonable. I dropped off my knives and picked them up a few hours later. They came back super sharp. So happy. Nic is great. Easy to work with and easy to communicate with.

I waited for a year to get the Corona crack weeder as it was out of stock. But I had to buy $100…read moreworth of items to avoid the $13 or so shipping fee. When I got the items last Friday 4/4/25 I was disappointed to find that the crack weeder looks like a used item: it has scratches on both sides of the blade, a mark on the handle and dark spots on the handle which looks like touched by dirty hands. I used to have a good image of Corona as I have some of their sharpening tools. But I am really disgusted about getting a used item. I think they do not give consideration to their customers. The other items look fine but they are all made in China so there is really no need to overcharge before tariffs hit. I used the stirrup hoe, the weeder and the kneeler. 4/7/25 I called the company and was told they would take 3 weeks to review the emails and will get back to me. 4/8/25 I received email from the company they will ship me a replacement before end of the week. 4/10/25 I got my new crack weeder, surprised. I actually used the other weeder 4/10/25 to test it out. For larger crevices the weeder was quite efficient to pull the weeds out, depending what kind of weeds. But when it comes to narrow crevices, the blade got stuck in the cracks and needed some struggle to pull it out. I was able to clear out 2 driveway crevices. So I will just take my time a few crevices at a time. The long blade seems to prevent bending which is what I need. So I upgraded the company to 4 stars.

The worst online customer experience. And their heavy duty weeding tool is worthless.read more
