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.

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.
