Sneeboer Von Lindren Cultivator

Another one of the "named" tools from Sneeboer. That means it was made for somebody to their specific requirements ... and that always piques our interest. We've had these on display at several shows and they always trigger conversation. We've had everything from -"is it a back scratcher?" to "is it for tenderising meat?" Our responses were "tad aggressive" and "you need to switch to a new butcher." Anyway - this tool is designed to break up compacted soil. Either around the top of large pots or in tightly planted borders where you might not be able to get a rake in. It has five spikes arranged in what many people* have described as a "frogs foot" pattern. Made from stainless steel with a cherry handle. Hand forged by Sneeboer in the Netherlands, who have been making and developing garden tools since 1913. Now in the hands of 5th generation family members, Sneeboer use stainless steel to craft the ultimate tools for gardeners. Their tools are the anthesis of the cheap throw away culture. Built to last a lifetime and to be maintain in order to continue to perform like new. As this item is hand forged please expect to see some hammer marks and black coke marks on the surface. These add to the unique character of each tool and do not affect the durability or quality of the tool in anyway. (* Nb - I challenged Edd on this - it's exactly two customers he has spoken to. Apparently this is a valid use of the term 'people'. Lou) Why invest in Sneeboer garden tools? Quite simply, they are high quality hand forged gardening tools that'll last a lifetime.
