Burgon & Ball Weed Slice - Short Handled – High-Carbon Steel Push-Pull Hand Weeder

Burgon & Ball Weed Slice - Short Handled – High-Carbon Steel Push-Pull Hand Weeder

The Burgon & Ball Short Handled Weed Slice is a revolutionary compact tool designed for high-efficiency weeding in tight spaces. Perfect for raised beds, gravel areas, and densely planted borders, this tool features a unique blade that cuts through weed roots on both the push and pull strokes. Its 50cm length provides the perfect balance between extended reach and the surgical precision of a hand tool, allowing you to clear large patches of weeds in half the time compared to traditional methods.

Best For: Gardeners working in raised beds or at close quarters who need a fast, effective tool for clearing weeds from gravel, mulch, or tightly packed floral displays.

Key Features

• Efficient Push-Pull Cutting: The blade is sharpened on both the front and back edges, enabling it to sever weeds on every motion and doubling your productivity in the garden.
• Maneuverable 10cm Head: The low-profile, compact head is designed to glide just beneath the soil surface, making it easy to navigate between delicate stems without causing damage.
• High-Performance Steel: Features a hardened and tempered high-carbon steel head for a lasting sharp edge, paired with a robust stainless steel tang to resist rust and add strength.
• Extended Hand Reach: At 50cm in length, it offers significantly more reach than a standard trowel or hand hoe, allowing you to weed the back of deep borders without overstretching.
• Durable FSC® Ash Handle: The sustainably sourced Ash handle is lightweight yet incredibly strong, offering a comfortable grip for prolonged weeding sessions.

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.
