There's a set of hoes now manufactured by Wolf Garten, that are light and sturdy, offering all the types that homesteader needs, including this beast which once you discover you are not going back: https://wolfgarten.us/collections/interlocken/products/wolf-garten-crumbler https://wolfgarten.us/collections/interlocken/products/wolf-... I recommend the wooden handle, have had mine for the past 17 years. Not affiliated in any way, just a huge fan based on experience with these tools in small scale organic farming and homesteading.

Also been using Wolf tools for 20 years - I really love the way that you can have multiple tool heads shared between 2-3 handles: significantly saves space in my garden shed. The handles are propped up in one corner and the heads are all on individual nails high on a wall, such that I can store other stuff beneath them. If the heads were permanently attached to their handles, I'd have lost a whole wall to the tools. The interchange mechanism is very robust - I've only had one fail in all that time, and the handle is still actually usable (the little red press button came off but the underlying locking mechanism is still functional). They also sell short handles that mean that you can use the tool heads while crouched down close to the ground, something that is virtually impossible with a conventional long handle.
