Title: Creates holes but not plugs.
Review: Clogs on very first try.Punches into the ground relatively well - no plug pushes our. The whole engineering of this thing was badly done. I can see alternatives in my mind that certainly would work better than the design of this product.The whole point of core/plug aerating is to produce a plug.. not compound the problem by smashing holes in your lawn and compacting it more - you could just use a spike aerator for this and avoid the compacting problem. Core aeration should bring the bottom soil to the surface and not clog on the first operation. Too much work to constantly unclog it.. so you end up 'aerating' the lawn by pushing a hole... not cutting a hole.Basically a waste of money if you want true core aeration. As mentioned previously, you are better off taking your money and going to a rental shop and renting a 'real' gas powered aerator for same amount.
