The Swiss manufacturer Ammann AG offers high quality gardening tools in some specific unique styles. Specializing in hoes with replaceable hardened steel blades, the most popular types being the Colinear, Upright (trapezoidal), and Oscillating (stirrup) hoes. Another Swiss manufacturer that professional gardeners are familiar with is Glasser (carried by Johnny’s); we feel that the Ammann tools are as good a quality while at a more competitive price. In late 2009, we have also expanded our offering of Ammann tools, carrying some of their other unique tool designs. Ash handles for most of the long handled Ammann tools are produced for us by one of our customers in Tennessee.

Ammann Oscillating / Stirrup Hoes

Also known as a “hula-hoe”, these hoes have a hardened spring-steel blade that cuts in both directions for high efficiency. Unlike a fixed-blade ‘scuffle’ hoe, this head has a limited-swivel joint at the top which gives the blade an aggressive entry angle into the soil both pushing and pulling, without changing the angle of the handle. Therefore, it works the soil deeper than a scuffle hoe (like our Dewit Diamond Hoe), but by the same token it requires more energy to use. Replaceable Ash handles.

NEW FOR 2024: Spear Head Hoe

This is from the Spear Head company, which is based in Connecticut. It has a unique head design to allow it to work as a slicing hoe, a furrowing tool, a soil mover, and a small rake.

For a slicing / weeding hoe, you would keep the handle more “upright” and slice with the long edge that has the “holes” above it, so the soil can pass back through. To move soil or chop, you would use the opposite long edge (with no pass-through holes above it). The pointed end for furrowing and the small rake-teeth are nice additions. The head is also slightly convex, to add strength. The whole head is Stainless Steel, and the handle is fiberglass with a UV inhibitor.

• Head: 8” long x 4” wide (at widest point)
• Length: 60”
• Weight: 2.2 lbs

$53.00

Made in Kansas from recycled agricultural disc blades, The Rogue hoe line has some good designs, are priced well (no overseas freight involved!) and are the best domestic hoes we’ve found. Handles on Garden and Scuffle hoes are attached in the conventional crimped-ferrule style (not replaceable), but the oversized ferrules seem to make the head junction more durable than any other American hoe. All hoes sharpened on 3 sides. (these hoes are good for seasonal hired help: better than average quality for good efficiency, but not a huge investment in cases where they might “walk off” or get lost).
