The grip is not rubberised, but is made of hard plastic. Without gloves one finds no support in a little more effort. At the end of the handle are inexplicably quite sharp edges that could pierce painful in the palm of the hand when weed stinging, depending on use. With gloves you realize these edges but not so much as an instrument should be to use even with bare hands.
Otherwise the Unkrautstecher makes a very strong impression. A raushebeln deep roots is not a problem.
Update: With Grip allows the Unkrautstecher make much more manageable. In addition, the disturbing edges are covered.
