Hot Forged High Carbon Steel. Chillington Hoes are made from traditional hot forged steel where the tool is made from a hot almost molten piece of high carbon steel.

The hot steel is then pressed once to form its unique shape meaning there are no stresses or built up in the metal. The steel itself is hard wearing but flexible and is able to take the many thousands of impacts it will receive whilst working the ground.

An ordinary type of steel would actually work harden causing it to go brittle and split over time. The grade of hot forged steel that Chillington use is tried and tested as they have been manufacturing these types of tools for over hundred years.

Even with competition from Far Eastern countries the Chillington name and their Crocodile logo is preferred by agricultural workers around the world.
