Know before you buy
Unlike a traditional hoe, this tool features a specialized three-point blade and a central spike. This dual-action design allows you to slice through weeds with the cutting edges while using the spike to hook and remove stubborn roots.
While it is highly effective, it is designed for precision work rather than clearing large areas. Its compact 2.5-inch width is best suited for tight spaces like raised beds, containers, window boxes, and borders where larger tools cannot maneuver.
Sneeboer tools are hand-forged in the Netherlands using high-quality steel, known for its exceptional strength and edge retention. With proper cleaning and occasional oiling, this tool is built to last for many years of regular gardening.
Ash wood is chosen for its durability and shock-absorbing properties. To keep the handle in top condition, wipe it clean after use and store it in a dry place; you may occasionally apply a light coat of linseed oil to prevent the wood from drying out.
Yes, the compact size and angled head provide excellent control, allowing you to cultivate soil and remove weeds in close proximity to delicate plants without disturbing their root systems.
