Stone Hoe

Minecraft files Stone Hoe under Tools: a tool you get from crafting. No stacking for Stone Hoe: a slot goes the moment a second one comes in, and a chest row of nine holds nine. Wear counts down from 131 on Stone Hoe, and an anvil resets part of that; it takes enchantments too.

Count on 131 uses out of Stone Hoe before it goes, longer with Unbreaking on it, and effectively without end once Mending is on it and you keep picking up experience. Stone gear is an early upgrade over wood, crafted cheaply from cobblestone and lasting noticeably longer in everyday use. When enchanted, Stone Hoe can carry 6 different enchantments, among them Efficiency, Unbreaking, Mending, and Fortune. It sits between Stone Axe and Stone Pickaxe in Tools, number 29 of 35 there.

Cobblestone, Blackstone or Cobbled Deepslate, 32 points each

A Stone Hoe deals the same single point of damage as every hoe, but it swings twice a second instead of once. That doubling is the whole story of the hoe tiers: they buy recovery, not damage.

It tills 131 blocks before it goes, and cobblestone, blackstone or cobbled deepslate each return 32 of them. A Stone Hoe also harvests hay, leaves and sculk faster than a bare hand.
