Anyone know where I can buy an old fashioned hand held weed cutter? The kind with a long wooded handle, and a U-shaped bracket holding a sawtooth double edged blade. If you ever saw the movie "cool hand Luke" They used these "Yo-Yos" to cut weeds along the road.
Common tool in the Midwest, but I cant find them here in Puerto Rico Home depot wont even ship them here. very odd.
Check all stores and ferreterias. Anyone help me? using Can't afford a machine, and cutting these big weeds with a machete gets be in the back.

Hi Greenbean!

I put the words "garden sickle" in the search box on Amazon.com and there were a couple of long handled ones.  You might want to check it out. 

I remember my dad having one when I was a kid.
