This rake, with its wide and sturdy blade, is a particularly effective tool for weeding paths and gravel surfaces or for hoeing herb gardens and vegetable patches in light soil. It can be used by pulling or pushing, but does not penetrate the soil. Its double-edged sharpened copper alloy blade, its tubular socket handle ensures robustness and durability, and its extra-long 165cm (65in) handle allows for maximum comfort of use. It comes with a 2-year warranty and is manufactured in Austria.

The Hydra model oscillating scraper from the PKS Bronze range, the namesake brand of the famous Austrian ecologist and naturalist, is a high-quality tool that emphasizes the robustness of materials and the finish of assemblies. Ergonomics is not forgotten thanks to an extra-long handle that allows the user to work standing up and save their back. The copper alloy head, which deposits micro particles in the soil over time, contributes to improving it with this natural soil constituent.

The tool is very effective for scraping between rows and in the rank of aromatic plants in open ground. Use the corner of the tool to get as close as possible to the base of the plant. The force to exert is less since the blade passes under the layer of soil. Much more ergonomic and faster than using a standard hoe, this oscillating scraper is ideal for weeding young seedlings, gravel paths, and stabilized surfaces. The Hydra oscillating scraper performs precision weeding operations between rows of vegetables with narrow spacing and in all difficult-to-access areas. The profiled blade allows for uniform weeding (on a flat surface) of the weeded area by working as close as possible to the row of vegetables (unlike U-profiles).

The wooden handle is compostable, and the metal head is recyclable. This tool, manufactured in Austria, comes with a 2-year warranty.

Dimensions: total length 165cm, width 14cm, weight 1Kg

Directions for use The oscillating Hydra hoe from the Schauberger range is particularly suitable for weeding gravelled surfaces (paths, petanque courts, driveways...). It can also be used to weed flower beds or vegetable gardens if the soil is light, as its head remains on the surface of the soil without penetrating it. It can be manipulated by pushing or pulling, allowing you to attack the neck (base) of the plant to be eliminated from two sides, for greater efficiency thanks to its double-edged blade. Its long 165cm (65in) handle will protect your back. To maintain the beautiful appearance of your copper tool, we recommend cleaning it with a stiff brush after each use, storing it away from moisture, and once a year sanding the handle with fine sandpaper and oiling it with a mixture of linseed oil and turpentine for easier application. You can dilute it half and half and for faster drying of the handle, use boiled linseed oil.
