Included in this section are all our latest additions to the Sneeboer range of hand forged quality stainless steel gardening tools. "if you're serious about your garden, then it really is worth investing in hand-forged stainless steel garden tools with wooden handles!" Garden Life, January 2005. The greatest advantage of stainless steel tools is that they don't rust and their surfaces also stay smooth which makes them extremely easy to clean. Stainless steel blades will continue to cut through soil like a knife blade whatever their age.
Do you recognise this problem? When you are repotting your plants, does more of the compost fall beside the pot than into it? With this new design trowel from Sneeboer, we think we have solved that problem by allowing a simple 'turn of the wrist' to do the job. A left handed version is also available.
Every now and then, you discover a wonderful little tool that makes you wonder how you coped beforehand – and here’s another, the Sneeboer Weeding/Sowing Finger. The 2cm wide by 8cm deep blade, or ‘finger’, is equally adept at spot weeding in a well-tended bed or border, or drawing out a drill in a seed bed, and a combination of the length (it measures a mere 20cm overall) and the cherry wood handle gives you total control. Find a place in your shed for this little finger now!
Manoeuvre with confidence through your beds in search of weeds with the easily navigable Sneeboer Hand Hoe/Weeder, before removing the imposters with the 4cm wide by 6cm deep blade. With a carefully curved 20cm long neck – hand forged in Holland in the traditional Sneeboer way – between the cherry wood handle and the blade, the hoe can easily reach into spaces weeds thought were safe. Storage is not a problem either; at only 34cm long, the Hand Hoe/Weeder will fit comfortably on any potting shed shelf.
Keep the garden pathways and stonework clear of unwanted weeds with the Long Handled Stone Scratcher – another extraordinarily useful tool carrying the renowned Sneeboer name. The sharply pointed 8cm long blade is designed specifically for successfully removing weed seedlings from between paving stones, sets and blocks – and with a 1.5m long ash handle, even the most evasive of weeds cannot escape. Measuring a comfortable to use 1.7m long overall, both you and your back will be delighted with this versatile tool.
Most gardeners are passionate about their lawns, and that’s why Sneeboer have designed and developed – with their legendary skill and experience – the Dandelion Spade. There’s no disguising the fact that a beautifully maintained green sward adds so much to the garden vista but unfortunately, it only takes a few misplaced dandelions (and other weeds) to spoil this view; however, their roots will be quivering at the thought of the 20cm deep scooped blade of this ash handled weeder! With a ‘t’ handle measuring 70cm in length, and a footrest on the right of the blade, you can say goodbye to crawling round the lawn on your knees too, as the spade measures a comfortable 1m overall.
Remove stones and other unwanted debris from seed beds with the new Narrow Tine Rake – and with a 24cm wide head supporting 10 sharp tines, the rake will soon become a firm favourite in the potting shed! The usual high quality Sneeboer Ash handle measures an impressive 1.47m in length- gaining approval from your back! – and the sharp 6cm long tines are only 2.5cm apart, allowing the rake (1.7m in length overall) to collect the vast majority of stones on each pass. Throw in the hand forging and care and attention synonymous with the Sneeboer name, and you’ve got yourself a rake for life!
The Sneeboer Container Trowel is perfect for you if you have ever found gardening difficult and frustrating when trying to get into the corners of your raised beds, containers or window boxes.
Planting bulbs can be a never-ending gardening task which only seems worthwhile when the blooms emerge months later in the garden, but this Sneeboer Hand Bulb Planter will make planting your bulbs almost as enjoyable as watching them emerge.

The Long Handled Stone Scratcher and Knife from Sneeboer will certainly make the job of kneeling down to remove unwelcome weeds from paths and paving a thing of the past. It is a thankless task that doesn’t do much for your back and knees either.
Occasionally the garden requires some heavy work in difficult conditions – the new Sneeboer Long Handled Fork and Mattock is tough enough to cope with almost all soil types and situations.
Although the title insists it’s one for the ladies this hoe has so many uses (combining the accuracy of a hand tool with the reach of a full sized hoe) we are sure that the man of the garden will be soon be raiding the potting shed to find it.
Straight from the Sneeboer stable comes another thoroughbred; this time in the shape of a unique off-set hand hoe - the combination of an extremely sharp 12cm wide blade, 45cm long stainless steel shaft and a cherry wood handle will have gardeners everywhere backing this sure-fire winner.
