Sneeboer Planting Trowel - Old Dutch Style with Cherry handle

Regular price £67.95 Sale

The first thing you notice about this Sneeboer Old Dutch Style planting trowel is its weight.  At a little over 400grams its noticeably heavier than "normal" trowels.  Its weight is a result of how these trowels are designed to be used.  Think of a chopping axe action - using the side of the trowel blade.  The weight helps the trowel cut into the soil and then a forward and back action creates the planting hole.

Hand forged by Sneeboer in the Netherlands, who have been making and developing garden tools since 1913.  Now in the hands of 4th 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.

The Sneeboer Old Dutch Style Planting Trowel is hugely popular - probably because it is often seen being used the Gardener's World team - including Monty Don and Adam Frost. 

The handle is made from Cherry and replacements are available if ever needed. We also stock the Ash handle version - meaning you can chose from short handled and long handled (depending on stock availability and your handle length preference). 

  • Width of head 13 cm
  • Length of head 14 cm
  • Length of handle 14 cm
  • Total length 30 cm

Cannot wait to get planting

I suppose like many others I was drooling over Monty Dons gardening tools and then scoured the net to buy hoping it would make me a better gardener. The long handled version of this was out of stock everywhere so clearly I wasn’t the only one looking but I opted for the shorter handled version and I’m more than happy. A solid piece of kit with good weight snd beautifully finished. This certainly won’t be getting left out in the rain !
Excellent service from
Tinker and Fix. Arrived very quickly and a little treat in the box.
