Chipping Hoe - 90mm Wide Blade - Hardened Steel Tool for Deeper Cultivation & Tough Weeding

Australian Artisan Chipping Hoe - 90mm Blade - Master-Forged Tool for Deeper Cultivation & Tough Weeds

Tackling large, established weeds or breaking up compacted ground requires focused strength and a tool built to withstand heavy chipping. The Artisan Chipping Hoe is engineered for this heavier work, featuring a narrow 90mm blade crafted from hardened steel for maximum penetration. Hand-made by local Australian toolmakers, this premium hoe is fitted with a 1500mm shock-resistant Spotted Gum handle, providing the leverage and durability needed to easily chip through tough soil and remove larger weeds with minimal back strain.

Best For The discerning home gardener who appreciates heirloom-quality, Australian-made tools and requires a heavy-duty, long-handled hoe for deeper cultivation, tough weeding, and breaking up compacted soil.

Key Features

• Heavy-Duty 3mm Hardened Steel: The substantial 3mm thick, high-carbon steel blade is heat-treated to optimum hardness, guaranteeing superior strength and edge retention when chipping into packed earth, gravel, or stubborn root systems.

• Precision 90mm Cutting Face: The narrow blade width concentrates power and leverage, making it ideal for deep cultivation and targeting large, perennial weeds in tight spots where a wider hoe would be ineffective.

• Master Artisan Quality (Australian Made): Hand-made in Melbourne, this tool uses the materials and techniques of a bygone era, providing uncompromising strength, function, and longevity superior to mass-produced alternatives.

• Shock-Resistant Long Handle: Fitted with a robust 1500mm Spotted Gum hardwood handle known for its long life and excellent shock resistance, ensuring comfort and reduced vibration during aggressive chipping and digging.

• Deeper Cultivation Capability: Designed for heavier impact, this hoe is effective for breaking up soil below the surface, improving aeration, and preparing deeper trenches for planting root vegetables.

✔ 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)

• Shipping costs vary by location and method

• 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
