Burgon & Ball - Long-Handled Razor Hoe – High-Performance Japanese Steel Stand-Up Weeder

Burgon & Ball Long-Handled Razor Hoe – High-Performance Japanese Steel Stand-Up Weeder

The Burgon & Ball Long-Handled Razor Hoe brings the incredible efficiency of the "cult-favorite" hand hoe to a full-length format. Designed for gardeners who prefer to work from a standing position, this tool eliminates the need for kneeling while providing the same aggressive weeding and cultivating power. Forged from high-carbon, laminated Japanese steel, the head is engineered to be drawn toward the body, effortlessly slicing through weed roots and breaking up compacted soil with a single, fluid motion.

Best For: Gardeners looking to clear large areas of weeds or cultivate long vegetable rows while standing, significantly reducing back and knee strain.

Key Features

• Full-Length 165cm Reach: The extra-long handle allows for a comfortable, upright posture, making it ideal for managing large allotments, expansive borders, or long garden beds.
• Laminated Japanese Steel: The head is hot-marked and forged from premium Japanese steel, offering superior edge retention and the structural strength to handle heavy soil without bending.
• Effortless Pull-Action: By drawing the razor-sharp blade toward you, you can clear large patches of weeds and aerate the soil much faster than with a traditional "push" style hoe.
• Sharp Angled Blade: The specialized angle of the head ensures the blade bites into the ground immediately, allowing it to glide through the soil surface to sever weed roots at the crown.
• Sustainably Sourced Handle: Constructed with a sturdy FSC® hardwood handle, providing the durability needed for heavy-duty cultivation while remaining well-balanced for ease of use.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Oversized, heavy, and structural goods ship via specialist freight. Freight is calculated at checkout from estimated packaged volumetric or physical weight. Carrier depot audits may adjust the rate — if the increase exceeds 10%, we will contact you before processing.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup — default method
✔ Direct delivery — requires an operational forklift on site unless Tailgate Delivery has been specifically requested and quoted (contact us — this cannot be selected at checkout)
✔ Tailgate hydraulic lift delivery — must be specifically requested; contact us for a quote (not available as a checkout option; extra fees apply; required if you do not have a forklift)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)

Important Notes:

• Shipping costs vary by location and method
• Any carton or consignment over 25–30kg (or over 200cm) must be palletised
• Without a specifically requested and paid Tailgate Delivery quote, palletised freight requires a forklift on site — otherwise the carrier will redirect to the nearest depot
• Bulky and oversized items cannot be delivered to a PO Box — provide a physical street address
• Failed deliveries, locked gates, unattended sites, or incorrect business/forklift declarations may incur carrier redelivery, demurrage, and restocking fees as set out in our Terms & Conditions

Business Delivery:

• Selecting a business/commercial delivery rate warrants that the address has an operational forklift and certified operator during business hours
• If the carrier cannot unload, the consignment may be redirected to a depot and secondary fees may apply
• Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment

See our Terms & Conditions (Article 8) for full freight and delivery rules.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse is a logistics hub, not a retail showroom. Listing a product online does not mean it is stored at our Thomastown warehouse — many lines ship from supplier hubs (split fulfilment may apply).

How lead times work:

• Product page ETA: The Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) / lead-time badge shown on the product page at checkout is the agreed delivery timeframe for that order under Australian Consumer Law.
• Metro baselines: Advertised ETAs apply to standard metropolitan zones. Regional and remote addresses may take longer and may attract surcharges.
• Peak seasons: Orders in March–May, August–October, EOFY (June), Black Friday/Cyber Monday (November), and Christmas/New Year (December–January) may automatically add a 2–4 week buffer beyond the product page ETA.
• Supplier-dependent / backordered items: If stock is delayed, we will notify you with a revised ETA. You then have 7 days to accept the new timeframe or cancel for a full refund.
• Adloheat: Custom-made products from Adloheat (Pakenham, VIC) may take 4–12 weeks depending on the order.

Full fulfilment, cancellation, and freight rules are in our Terms & Conditions.
