Durable and Useful
I wasn't sure if I should purchase a riddle, but I am more than happy that I did. I have used it to plant trees and it has saved me a lot of time from manually picking rocks out of the soil. The riddle is great weeds/vegetative material from the soil. I have sifted a lot of very rocky soil using this riddle and it has held up very well. The grid is a good all purpose size for removing most rocks. The little extra cost is more than worth it.

Soil goes through more easily than through wire mesh
Just sifted compost from our compost heap and it did a great job. My previous garden riddle was larger, so heavier to hold - this is just the right size. Also my previous riddle had a wooden rim that rotted over about 20 years as I hung it up outside. Then the old riddle had wire mesh for the sieve and the soil kept getting stuck. This riddle is strong enough to help the soil get through the holes. I chose this because Spear & Jackson made a good spade my family head when I grew up not too far from Sheffield, the company's home. Now made in China, this is a quality product.

Good Quality but Could Use a Handle
This is a very durable product and very useful no doubt. The metal is sturdy but it is a bit hard to hold after a while, as I’ve used this extensively since I got it. My only other gripe is that the holes are a bit big, but this is not the product’s issue, it’s more my issue. Overall, a great product, I would just like a handle on it to make it easier to hold during more tedious tasks.

durable and effective
sifted 8-12 cubic feet of soil over the course of a year with my toddler. it was very slow, and maybe not the right tool for that volume, but it was therapeutic and a great activity for a 2 year old to "help" with while we played in the dirt together. Soil was rocky, and I pulled about a truck bed's worth of small rocks out of my garden beds. Absolutely worth it. The riddle shows some signs of wear but is as strong as the day I bought it. I now use it to sift compost. Wish they made another one with a small sieve so I could produce soil for starting seeds

Very well made, does the job and…
if you’re willing to cut the center out of two 5-gallon bucket lids and glue them top-to-top, you’ll have a very secure bucket-top strainer that fits 3.5, 5, and 7 gallon buckets (they all share the same lid size).

Should've bought one long time ago!
I use this "riddle" or soil sieve to make my seed starting mix from potting soil. Rather than purchasing specific seed starting mix, using the riddles saves me money every time I use it.

Nice and sturdy
Really good material and quality product. Does exactly what I need it to. I wish the openings were a bit smaller so that it would filter out medium size pieces better, but I already knew to expect this. If this could fit on a 5 gallon bucket it would be perfect!

Works good for sifting small amounts of dirt
Works good for sifting small amounts of dirt. Definitely rugged and withstand rough use I would like it better if it fit an average utility bucket well and give 5 Star.

Well-made of strong durable material, will give years of service.

Finition excellente. Le seul bémol est que la hauteur pourrait être un peu plus élevée afin que lorsqu'on tamise, les écorces ou autres aient tendance à moins vite sortir par le haut.

Not too big, not too small. If it were bigger it would be too heavy to hold, and smaller too few materials could be sieved. The holes are of a size to allow small stones but not large ones, or vegetative material to passlike grass roots. Perfect for sieving lawn cuts, or going through rough virgin areas in borders. Even catches clay but does not sieve it. Excellent riddle, great materials, reputable manufacturer. Sturdy and durable, keep it clean. Stainless steel is great quality. Takes abuse.

J’ai acheté ce tamis Spear & Jackson RIDDLE pour trier la terre et le compost de mon potager, et je dois dire que la qualité est au rendez-vous. Le cadre en acier inspire immédiatement confiance : solide, rigide, bien soudé, il ne se tord pas même sous une bonne quantité de terre humide. Le maillage est régulier et bien tendu, ce qui permet un tamisage homogène sans bourrage. On sent que l’outil est pensé pour durer et non pour un usage ponctuel. Après plusieurs utilisations, aucune déformation ni trace de rouille — un vrai gage de sérieux. La taille du cadre est pratique : assez large pour travailler efficacement, mais pas trop encombrante pour le rangement. Je l’utilise aussi pour séparer les cailloux du terreau avant de remplir mes pots, et le résultat est impeccable : une terre fine et bien aérée. Ce que j’ai particulièrement apprécié, c’est sa polyvalence : parfait pour le jardin, le compost, ou même le tamisage de sable pour les projets DIY. Il tient bien en main, le poids est équilibré, et la finition acier brossé est à la fois sobre et résistante. Bref, un outil simple, solide et efficace, comme on aimerait en voir plus souvent. Spear & Jackson reste fidèle à sa réputation de fabricant d’outils durables et bien conçus — une valeur sûre pour les jardiniers exigeants.

Robusto, grande produttività, fori della dimensione corretta. Ottimo per attività casalinghe. Io lo ho usato per separare i sassi durante il rifacimento dell'erba del giardino.
