Garden Spades and Bulb Planters - In the small town of Bovenkarspel, in the Westfrisian area of Holland, three brothers Aad, Jaap and Frank Sneeboer make gardening tools,- Their Grandfather, Arie, founded the company in 1913, and their father Paul, continued it after the war much of it remains unchanged; the coal fire, an anvil, the hammering, each Sneeboer garden tool is hand-forged in the finest stainless steel, individually shaped, polished and sharpened by hand before being fitted with a fine quality wooden handle.
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!
