Burgon & Ball Weed Slice - Short Handled – High-Carbon Steel Push-Pull Hand Weeder

The Burgon & Ball Short Handled Weed Slice is a revolutionary compact tool designed for high-efficiency weeding in tight spaces. Perfect for raised beds, gravel areas, and densely planted borders, this tool features a unique blade that cuts through weed roots on both the push and pull strokes. Its 50cm length provides the perfect balance between extended reach and the surgical precision of a hand tool, allowing you to clear large patches of weeds in half the time compared to traditional methods.

Best For: Gardeners working in raised beds or at close quarters who need a fast, effective tool for clearing weeds from gravel, mulch, or tightly packed floral displays.

Key Features

• Efficient Push-Pull Cutting: The blade is sharpened on both the front and back edges, enabling it to sever weeds on every motion and doubling your productivity in the garden.
• Maneuverable 10cm Head: The low-profile, compact head is designed to glide just beneath the soil surface, making it easy to navigate between delicate stems without causing damage.
• High-Performance Steel: Features a hardened and tempered high-carbon steel head for a lasting sharp edge, paired with a robust stainless steel tang to resist rust and add strength.
• Extended Hand Reach: At 50cm in length, it offers significantly more reach than a standard trowel or hand hoe, allowing you to weed the back of deep borders without overstretching.
• Durable FSC® Ash Handle: The sustainably sourced Ash handle is lightweight yet incredibly strong, offering a comfortable grip for prolonged weeding sessions.
