DeWit Tool Set

Yes, DeWit tools are forged from high-quality boron steel, which is exceptionally strong and resistant to bending. They are well-suited for breaking up compacted soil and clay, though you should always clean them after use to maintain their integrity.

The included F10 Dutch Hand Hoe is specifically engineered for right-handed use. Its blade angle is optimized for a right-handed pushing motion to slice through weeds and aerate the soil.

To keep your tools in top condition, wipe off excess dirt after each use and occasionally apply a light coat of linseed oil to the wooden handles to prevent drying or cracking. Store them in a dry place to protect the steel from rust.

These are standard hand tools designed for close-up work, such as container gardening, raised beds, or detailed weeding in flower borders. They are not miniature or 'toy' tools, but they are compact enough for precise maneuvering.

A Dutch hand hoe is designed to be pushed through the soil just below the surface, which effectively slices weed roots without disturbing the soil structure too deeply. It is much more efficient for weeding than a fork or cultivator, which is better suited for turning or loosening soil.
