ZencaClaws | Claw Gardening Gloves — Dig, Rake & Weed With Your Hands

Stop Putting The Trowel Down To Use Your Hands

Half of border work is done by hand anyway. You pick up the trowel to break the surface, put it down to pull the weed, pick it up again to firm the soil back. The tool spends most of the session lying in the dirt where you can't find it.

ZencaClaws put the digging on your fingertips. Four moulded claws on the right hand break soil, rake leaves and scoop out planting holes — then you weed, sift and plant with the same hand, no tool swap.

What Makes Them Worth Wearing

• Puncture-resistant palms. Polyester shell with a durable latex coating, so thorns, splinters and brambles don't get through to your skin.
• The claws come off. Detach them and you've got a normal pair of coated work gloves for pruning, tying in and general handling.
• Breathable backs. Nylon knit on the back of the hand lets heat out, which is the difference between wearing gloves all afternoon and taking them off after ten minutes.
• Waterproof grip. The latex coating sheds wet soil rather than absorbing it, so your hands stay dry and clean.

What You'll Use Them For

• Digging planting holes for bedding and bulbs
• Raking leaves and clearing debris out of borders
• Loosening compacted soil around established plants
• Pulling weeds by the root without a tool
• Mixing compost and backfilling pots
• Handling prickly stems — roses, brambles, holly

Common Questions

Are the claws on both hands?
The claws are on one hand, which is how they're meant to work — one hand digs, the other holds the plant, the pot or the weed.

Will one size actually fit me?
The knit and latex both flex, so they suit a wide range of adult hands. They run generously rather than tight.

Can I still do fine work wearing them?
With the claws off, yes — the coated palm is thin enough to feel what you're doing. With claws on they're for bulk soil work.

Will the claws snap in hard ground?
They're moulded for soil, compost and leaf litter. Rocky or baked-solid ground still wants a fork to break it first.

Are they machine washable?
Rinse them under a tap and let them air dry. Machine washing and tumble drying will shorten the life of the latex.
