If you've ever used a Sneeboer garden hoe, you may have noticed a knob on the end of the handle. This seemingly small detail actually serves an important purpose. The knob is there to help prevent the handle from breaking.
When you use a hoe, you are applying a lot of force to the handle. Over time, this can cause the handle to break where it meets the head of the hoe. The knob acts as a stop, absorbing some of that force and taking pressure off of the handle. This helps to extend the life of your hoe and prevents unexpected breakages in the middle of a gardening session.
So next time you're using your Sneeboer hoe, take a moment to appreciate that little knob - it's doing important work!
