Know before you buy
The hand-forged steel head is designed specifically for durability and sharpness, allowing it to slice through hard and dry ground more effectively than stamped metal alternatives.
Yes, the handle measures 62 inches, providing a total tool length of over 67 inches. This length is generally sufficient to allow most gardeners to work in an upright position, reducing strain on the back.
Absolutely. While it is primarily a weeding tool, the angle of the blade makes it excellent for creating shallow trenches for sowing seeds or earthing up soil around vegetable rows.
Because the head is made of high-quality forged steel, you can maintain the edge using a sharpening stone or a fine-grit file. Regular cleaning after use and a light coat of oil will help prevent rust and keep the metal in top condition.
Sneeboer tools are built for longevity, but should the handle eventually wear out, it can typically be replaced. The traditional design allows for a secure fit, ensuring you can keep the forged head in service for many years.
