 You need this handy tool for your Mantis! April 23, 2007

The tines on the Mantis are fairly closely packed, and it is inevitable that you will wind some fibrous roots around them while tilling. The Detangler works great at picking them out without bruising or scratching up your knuckles on the tines. It has a vinyl wrapped handle to make it somewhat grippy, and fits easily and comfortably in your hand. A must-have accessory.
Great tool! May 1, 2008

This tool is so handy to have when roots or worse yet, rocks become tangled or stuck between the tines. Believe me, it's worth the $10 to $15.
Simple and effective July 4, 2008

I know it's just a piece of tempered steel with a dipped in plasticote handle but it's the perfect piece. It really makes digging out tangles easier. I have owned Mantis Tillers for nearly twenty years and just got a detangler a month or so ago. What a difference! Don't buy the tiller without buying this!
 Helps clean out the gunk. April 17, 2008

Previously I used my pocketknife and pliers. This is larger so your hand is further from the collected gunk on the tines. Worth using. If I lost it, I would buy it again. For really tangled gunk, it is easier to simply pull the cotter pin, remove the tines and pull off all the junk.
Overpriced but saves skin February 13, 2009

Before you use your tiller, you will probably see the detangler as an overpriced plastic-coated wire. After you use your tiller, you will probably see the detangler as the thing that could have prevented a trip to the emergency room for stitches and a tetanus shot. The mantis tines and sharp, long, and closely packed: trying to navigate your hand through them to free a weed-choked shaft is suicidal.
You're going to have to clear the tines regularly, even if you have reducers. Using the detangler will save your skin, so I suggest you make the investment.
And even with the detangler, I recommend you don't go near the tines without hand protection. Use leather or cut-resistant gloves at least.
