For over 40 years, Mantis has set the standard in garden innovation with the iconic Mantis Tiller. Designed to outperform bulky, traditional tillers, this lightweight yet powerful tool redefined what’s possible in home gardening. What some once dismissed as a novelty “ garden toy”, quickly proved to be a game-changer, trusted by discerning gardeners worldwide for its performance, precision, and enduring quality. With Mantis, exceptional gardening begins with exceptional tools.

No story of Mantis is complete without the iconic, original, 20 lb. Mantis Tiller/Cultivator. First produced in 1980 at our factory in Southampton, Pennsylvania, this compact powerhouse has been assembled on the very same production line ever since. Lightweight, versatile, and incredibly durable, it performs like a machine twice its size – breaking through tough soil with ease. Built to last a lifetime, it became the blueprint for every Mantis product that followed. For over four decades, we’ve continued to refine our engineering and craftsmanship, holding every product to the same uncompromising standard.
