Oscillating or Stirrup Hoe - Fantastic Weeding Tool

Our most popular tool! The double action Oscillating Hoe has an outstanding reputation for being fast and effective. Also called the stirrup hoe. The thin oscillating blade cuts through tough weeds just below the surface, cutting in both directions. Weeds are undercut by pushing/pulling the sharp blade through the top layer of the soil. The weeds are cut of and the soil surface loosened for better air/water penetration.

How to use: Stand in an upright position holding the long handle. Move the hoe backwards and forwards using small movements (10-15cm) so that the hinged blade moves back and forwards in the soil. The blade is parallel to the ground and cuts the weeds off at the root.

  • The replaceable blades are made of high tempered spring steel to stay sharp
  • Three hoe widths available: 85mm - 125mm - 175mm
  • Blades are screwed on for easy replacement. Spare blades always available
  • Made in Switzerland
  • Comes with or without a 1.7m ash handle. A long handle like this enables the user to stand in an upright position, thus making it easier on the back
