Sneeboer Hand Spade

While a standard trowel is designed for one-handed use, the Sneeboer Hand Spade features a longer, 22-inch handle that allows for two-handed operation. This provides significantly more leverage and control, making it easier to dig larger holes or lift established perennials without straining your wrist.

Yes, the hand-forged stainless steel head is highly resistant to rust and corrosion. It is designed to withstand damp soil conditions and remain durable over many seasons of heavy use.

Because the head is hand-forged stainless steel, it is exceptionally strong and capable of handling tough soil. However, it is primarily designed for planting and transplanting rather than prying out large rocks, which could put unnecessary stress on the ash wood handle.

The handle is crafted from high-quality ash wood, which is known for its shock-absorbing properties and durability. The smooth finish provides a comfortable grip, though because it is a wooden tool, we recommend keeping it clean and dry to maintain the integrity of the handle over time.

Absolutely. Its compact 22-inch length makes it an ideal choice for raised beds or crowded garden borders where a full-sized spade would be too cumbersome, but a standard hand trowel lacks the necessary power.
