Who makes the Razer

What we build

We build hand tools for people with a weedy shoreline and a working pair of arms. V shaped cutters that fly out on a rope and shear stalks near the bottom. Wide rakes that gather what floats. A rolling drum that tears at roots under the mud. And, because the same people haul water to troughs and camps, collapsible bladders that ride flat in a truck bed.

Nothing in the catalog has a motor, a tank, or a cord. You throw it, you pull it, and what it catches comes out of the water on a rope.

How we think about the work

A shoreline is cleared in steps, and we build for the steps rather than pretending one tool does it all. The cut is quick. The gathering takes the rest of the afternoon. The roots take passes over days. We say this plainly on every page because a tool bought for the wrong step ends up in the shed, and that helps nobody.

We also tell you what the steel cannot do. Duckweed and algae give a blade nothing to cut, and we would rather lose that sale than ship you a cutter for soup.

Built to be thrown

A tool that gets cast off a dock hundreds of times a summer meets rocks, sand, and the occasional sunken log. So the blades take a hand sharpener, the rakes fold flat for the shed wall, and the bags roll up like bedrolls between hauls. This is gear for seasons, not for one August.

Talk to us

If you are staring at a weed bed and not sure which line it calls for, write to the dock and describe what you see. A photo off the end of the pier answers most questions in one reply.
