Sneeboer Rake

Hand-forging creates a denser, more durable metal structure that resists bending and snapping under pressure. Unlike mass-produced stamped rakes, this Sneeboer tool is designed to maintain its edge and integrity through years of heavy-duty soil work.

The curved design allows the tines to bite into the soil more effectively during a pulling motion, making it easier to crumble compacted earth or collect debris. When pushed, the angle helps the rake glide over the surface to mix in amendments without digging too deeply.

Yes. By flipping the rake over so the flat back of the head faces down, you can use it as a leveling bar to smooth out soil and create a uniform surface for sowing seeds.

The head is attached via a traditional socket method, which is designed for longevity and stability. While the ash handle is extremely durable, the socket design allows for easier maintenance or replacement compared to tools with permanently molded or riveted handles.

To keep it in top condition, clean the soil off the tines after each use and store it in a dry place to prevent rust. Periodically applying a light coat of linseed oil to the ash handle will keep the wood from drying out or cracking over time.
