Neverbend were the RR of garden tools. S&J bought them up some years ago[I
was told] and the quality remains as good. Their spades are a delight to use
and 'ring' when used. Their stainless steel tools are well worth the
extra~~if only for cleaning and neglecting.
Controversially my first S&J stainless steel spade never rang true and
sounded dull. It eventually broke at a fault on the shaft. I phoned their
complaints dept. and was promised a free replacement. After a week I phoned
again with the same promise! Again the next week. Then a delivery of three!!
new spades in three days. I phoned to advise of their mistake and was told
not to bother! Meanwhile I had managed to get my original spade welded, as
new. With three extra spades I made very good friends.
That was 20 or 25 yrs. ago and the original spade still 'sings' to me!!

I am looking for good quality hand tools, having Googled this group I
can find no clear recommendation. However I found S&J Neverbend brand,
has anyone any comments on them, good, bad or ugly.
