This traditional Sneeboer lawn edger has a solid ash handle, a large grip making it very comfortable to use and a stainless blade which cuts easily through turf making it a very useful addition to any gardeners shed.
"This model has a nice broad head, which will accommodate large boots and cut long, straight runs at a decent speed. The sturdy shaft is made from ash, as is the wide handle, which makes the cutting action easy and comfortable. All in all, it's a thoroughly well-designed tool: Pros: Great build quality and a sensible all-round design. Cons: Hard to fault, other than the rather frightening price. Overall: A pleasure to use; view it as an investment purchase Verdict: ****** (Top Marks) 'The Cutting Edge - Assessment by Julie Hollobone and Paul Wagland, Gardens Monthly, May 2008.

• “By far the best tool for a gardener to sweep leaves from a lawn…”. Telegraph Gardening, 19 February 2005.
• "A traditional birch besom is much more effective than a conventional modern yard broom, and it won't damage your lawn like a rake. It gets between the grass and flicks leaves up rather than sliding over the top. As you sweep, you flatten all the unsightly wormcasts, and you can get into corners that other brooms can't. You can do delicate things, too, like lifting leaves off gravel without shifting the gravel. The generous length of brush means besoms like mine can last up to ten years."
