Sneeboer border spade

Product Image
This small but perfectly formed Sneeboer spade is ideally proportioned for gardeners looking for a lighter tool, or with smaller plots to dig.

The compact head is smaller and shorter than a traditional spade, keeping the tool's weight down and making it easier to manoeuvre.

The solid ash handle is slightly longer than a standard spade, reducing bending and back strain, and a slimmer section in the middle gives you a secure, comfortable grip for two-handed digging.

The sharp blade is hand forged from rust-resistant stainless steel and riveted to a sustainable ash shaft, finished with a chunky ergonomic T-handle for comfort.

Supplied with a 10-year guarantee on steel parts (1 year for the handle).

Please note: take care not to place excessive strain on wooden handles when levering out roots or rocks in very firm soil. To help, water the area well to soften ground first. A crowbar may be more suitable for very heavy or stubborn obstacles.

Key features:

  • Lightweight and compact - ideal for smaller spaces
  • Hand forged rust-resistant stainless steel
  • Sustainable solid ash handle

Measurements:


Head W15cm x L23cm
Total length 112cm
Weight 1.7kg
