Excellent value - Small, compact,accurate and easily used. Somewhat awkward installed in the soundhole.

From North Georgia Red Clay
3 of 3 found this helpful Soil conditions here are awful. Hard packed red clay with an abundance of rocks and tree roots. The Mantis is a handful but does an excellent job with a little patience. I can't imagine that conditions could possibly be worse. Twenty minutes working back and forth and the hard packed clay was chopped to nice fine plantable soil.
Several tips:
-Follow the starting instructions in the manual exactly.I own several 'Stihll' power tools and starting the Mantis is easy, 'if you follow the directions'!
-My wife is 5'1" and 100 pounds. She's fearless with power tools. She really wasn't able to control this little tiller for more than a couple of minutes.
-The manual does not properly address the way the tiller functions around rocks and tree roots. Several times that little sucker jumped 40" in the air. Once you know to expect it, it's not a problem.
Again, this is a great tool; sturdy and certainly lives up to our expectations. A hour of experimenting and it reduced everything to nice well aerated plantable soil.
