Many tools have been designed to eradicate deep-rooted weeds, and some work better than others. This unbelievably simple and therefore main-tenance-free and useful tool is now available from Sneeboer: shaped like a narrow spade, it has such a long blade that even deeply entrenched roots can be reached and removed.
It is modern practice to produce garden tools by pressing and rolling processes. The difference between such tools and forged ones need hardly be explained. The photographs on this page speak volumes. Only with forging all the small details can be attended to and the materials compressed or reinforced where necessary.
For over 100 years Jaap Sneeboer's (pronounced »Snaybooer«) descendants have been supplying their fellow West Frisian citizens with the tools they require for their agricultural work, construction and horticulture. In order to manufacture these traditional stainless steel Frisian garden tools, Sneeboer uses two different grades of stainless steel: a highgrade, toughened steel for the springs and shaft socket, and a lesser, simpler to forge grade for the actual working parts. The elements are permanently welded together and subsequently ground and polished. All these processes are carried out by hand.
