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.

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.
