Hand tool consisting of a hoe-shaped blade (see hoe) (approx. 7-10 cm by 5-7 cm) and two or three teeth (approx. 10 cm), which are attached at right angles to a straight handle opposite each other. The weeding hoe is used for weeding and to loosen the top layer of the soil. It can be distinguished from the small weeding hoe by the length of the handle: approx. 120 cm for the weeding hoe, compared to 30-40 cm for the small model  (1). See also this tool with two teeth, the garden hoe, grubber and dung hoe. [MOT] (1) See the article DAVID: La serfouette, un outil "flamand"?.

The wheel pricker (approx. 23-27 cm) of the saddler has a toothed, exchangeable metal wheel that is placed in a U-shaped bracket; the slightly curved shaft is fixed in a wooden handle. The teeth are wedge-shaped and placed at an oblique angle (45 °) to the circumference of the wheel.It is used to mark and partially penetrate the leather before sewing (see also awl). This makes it easier for the needle to pass through and ensures an even distance between the stitches. You can roll with the wheel pricker over the leather with a ruler as a guide (1). For the same purpose, a chisel with a flared, similarly toothed blade can also be used.See also the shoemaker's wheel pricker and the wheel pricker for stenciles. [MOT](1) FRUMAU: 56.

The tailor uses a wheel pricker (approx. 20 cm) to transfer the lines of the pattern to the fabric, the painter to transfer the lines of a stencil. The tool has a toothed wheel (approx. 2 cm in diameter) that sits in a U-shaped bracket at the end of a metal shaft; the shaft sticks with a tang in a wooden handle, sometimes wheels with different teeth can be attached to the bracket. The wheel pricker for fabric is exceptionally foldable: the wheel then disappears into a metal handle. Can be distinguished from the wheel pricker (shoe maker) because the teeth are less sharp and closer together. See also wheel pricker (saddle maker). [MOT]
