Burgon & Ball - Super Slice – High-Efficiency Double-Action Large Surface Weeder

Burgon & Ball Super Slice – High-Efficiency Double-Action Large Surface Weeder

The Burgon & Ball Super Slice is the heavy-duty evolution of the acclaimed Weed Slice, engineered specifically for rapid maintenance of large garden areas. Hand-forged in Sheffield, this tool features an expansive 23.5cm "winged" head that cuts through weed roots on both the push and pull strokes. Its low-profile, horizontal action is designed to glide just beneath the soil surface, making it uniquely compatible with weed control membranes and contemporary landscaping finishes like slate chips and gravel.

Best For: Gardeners managing large allotments, expansive vegetable beds, or modern landscapes with gravel and membranes who want to clear surface weeds with maximum speed and zero back strain.

Key Features

• Extra-Wide 23.5cm Winged Head: The substantial width allows you to clear large areas of weeds in a fraction of the time required by standard hoes or hand tools.
• High-Speed Push-Pull Performance: Sharpened on both leading and trailing edges to cut on every motion, effectively doubling your productivity while reducing physical effort.
• Membrane-Safe Horizontal Action: Because the blade moves horizontally just below the surface, it can be safely used over weed control fabrics without snagging or tearing the membrane.
• Hand-Forged Sheffield Steel: Crafted from hardened and tempered high-carbon steel in the historic Sheffield factory, ensuring professional-grade strength and a razor-sharp edge that lasts.
• Back-Friendly FSC® Handle: The long, polished FSC® certified handle is designed to allow the gardener to remain upright, completely eliminating the need for stooping and preventing backache.
• Enhanced Soil Health: Minimal soil disturbance means fewer dormant weed seeds are brought to the surface to germinate, while moisture is better retained within the earth.

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.

Biosecurity & Interstate Shipping Restrictions

Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:

• Potting Mixes cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA), the Northern Territory (NT), or Tasmania (TAS).

Orders placed for these items to restricted states will be cancelled and refunded. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the items being ordered can lawfully be delivered to their state or territory.
