They seem very expensive .
is the action of turning motion a labour saving or a gimmick ?
Garden centres dont seem to keep them but B&Q do.
35 -39 pounds seem a lot ,
they dont cost much to produce i should imagine
any opinions to share ?


Don't touch one if you have back problems - the twisting action will do
mare damage to your back than to the soil!

Thoroughly agree that a good old fork is better for most jobs.

Having said that, the *hand* garden claw (e.g. mini version) is useful
for loosening crusted soil on top of pots etc. - but that's about all.
