The message
from Christopher Norton contains these words:

However, I am very particular about garden tools maintenance. I think it
comes from having a full set of very expensive Bonsai tools. Odd that
I`d pay 60 quid for a pair of stainless steel scissors but would baulk
at the same price spade.

I prefer full-sized tools for my gardening......
