Burgon & Ball - Weed Slice Long Handled – High-Carbon Steel Push-Pull Weeding Tool

Burgon & Ball Weed Slice Long Handled – High-Carbon Steel Push-Pull Weeding Tool

The Burgon & Ball Weed Slice is a revolutionary tool designed to transform how you manage gravel paths and garden borders. Engineered to eliminate stooping and back strain, this long-handled version allows you to maintain an upright posture while working. Its unique, compact head is designed to slide just beneath the surface, cutting through weed roots with incredible efficiency. By working on both the push and pull strokes, the Weed Slice effectively halves the time spent on maintenance compared to traditional hoes.

Best For: Gardeners looking for a fast, ergonomic solution for weeding gravel driveways, paths, and densely planted flower borders without the need to kneel or bend.

Key Features

• Revolutionary Push-Pull Action: The blade is sharpened on both sides to cut on both the push and pull strokes, doubling your efficiency and making quick work of large surface areas.
• Ergonomic Stand-Up Design: With an overall length of 148cm, this tool is specifically designed to prevent back strain and fatigue, allowing for comfortable, extended use.
• Compact 10cm Head: The slender, low-profile head is perfectly sized to navigate between tightly packed plants in borders where a standard hoe would be too wide and intrusive.
• Superior Material Construction: Features a hardened and tempered high-carbon steel head for maximum edge retention, connected to a rust-resistant stainless steel tang for long-lasting durability.
• Premium FSC® Ash Handle: Fitted with a sustainably sourced FSC® Ash handle, chosen for its strength, slight flexibility, and shock-absorbing properties.

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.
