Product Information

Full details

The Wilkinson Sword Weed Grubber is designed for home gardeners seeking an efficient tool to remove weeds from tight spaces. Its primary benefit is the strong carbon steel head combined with a comfortable ash handle for effective weed extraction. A potential caveat is its compact size, which may be less ideal for large-scale weeding tasks. This tool features a durable carbon steel head with a green epoxy finish, a weatherproofed ash handle, and a leather hanging strap for convenient storage, backed by a 10-year guarantee.

FAQs

What is the working width of the Weed Grubber?

The working width of the carbon steel head is 20mm.

What material is the handle made of?

The handle is made from natural, weatherproofed ash wood.

Is this tool suitable for large gardens?

While effective, its compact size (28cm length) makes it best suited for detailed weeding in smaller areas, borders, or containers rather than extensive garden areas.

How should I clean the tool?

Clean the carbon steel head with a damp cloth after each use to remove soil and debris. Ensure it is dried thoroughly before storage.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The Wilkinson Sword Weed Grubber comes with a 10-year guarantee.

Can I leave this tool outdoors?

While the handle is weatherproofed and the head has an epoxy finish, it is recommended to store the tool in a dry place after cleaning and drying to prolong its life and prevent potential rust on the steel.

Troubleshooting

Tool head appears to be rusting

Wipe the head clean with a slightly oiled cloth and ensure the tool is thoroughly dried after each use. Store in a dry environment.

Handle feels rough or splintering

Lightly sand the ash handle with fine-grit sandpaper and apply a coat of linseed oil or wood wax. Allow to dry completely.

Weeds are difficult to lift

Ensure the soil is slightly damp (not waterlogged or bone dry) for easier root extraction. Use the tip of the grubber to loosen soil around the root base before lifting.
