Curator's pick: Handheld Core Aerator Tool
Most retail aerators have thin shafts that bend under dry soil pressure, but this weld-point design holds up to foot-weight. It pulls a clean 2.5-inch plug without clogging the barrel, which is the only way to actually relieve compaction.
⚠ Worth knowing: The Handheld Core Aerator is a manual labor tool, not a miracle fix; if your clay is bone-dry, you will snap the tines or your back before you get a clean core. Soak the area 24 hours prior or wait for rain before attempting to pull plugs.
