Burgon & Ball - RHS Stainless Hand Hoe – Professional Precision Weeding Tool

Burgon & Ball RHS Stainless Hand Hoe – Professional Precision Weeding Tool

The Burgon & Ball RHS Stainless Hand Hoe is a powerhouse for close-quarters garden maintenance. Specifically designed for gardeners who prefer to weed from a kneeling position, it offers the perfect balance of weight and maneuverability. Its broad blade is heavy enough to deliver a satisfying, effective "chop" through stubborn weed roots, yet it remains light enough for extended use without fatigue. Combining the heritage of the Royal Horticultural Society with modern durability, this hoe is an essential for precision border care.

Best For: Gardeners who weed while kneeling and require a tool that can slice through root systems in densely planted borders with professional accuracy.

Key Features

• Rust-Resistant Stainless Steel: The mirror-polished stainless steel head resists soil adhesion and rust, ensuring the blade remains sharp and slides cleanly through various soil types.

• Ergonomic Handheld Design: The 26cm length and 100% FSC-certified hardwood handle provide a secure, comfortable grip for high-control weeding around delicate plants.

• Professional Accolade: Officially endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society, representing the highest standard of quality and performance in the industry.

• Lifetime Guarantee: Like all RHS-endorsed stainless steel tools from Burgon & Ball, this hand hoe is built to last a lifetime and comes with a full replacement guarantee.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Can take up to 2 weeks to arrive.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.
