You were right on. I heard back from Scotts. They suggested Lowes who are
now carrying a line by WulfGarten that is interchangeable with their
previous tools. (I did not see them at our local Lowes here in small town
America.). They also suggested Smith Farm & Garden (website of the same
name which I am now off to check.) Thanks to both you and Sgt. Bilko
(ten-hut!) for replying.

Several years ago I purchased a rake that I believe was branded with the
Scott's name. It had a long yellow handle, and what made it unique was
that the head of it contained an insert into which you could plug any of
several head implements. In my case, I had a lawn rake, a spring leaf
rake, and an edging tool. Each implement was very heavy duty, with the
insert piece made of cast aluminum. I've had it for years, but recently
moved, and in the process, someone walked off from the garage with the
rake handle and the garden rake insert. I still have the other two
attachments, and would love to acquire a replacement. I don't see the
rake on the Scott's website anymore. I'm sure someone made the devices
for them. Anyone know where I might find such a thing? I checked eBay
and came up empty there as well.


I find these laying about here and there a local hardware stores. I've
never seen these at a big box store though, only at small ma and pa
stores. They go under different names but it seems that the most popular
maker on the net is Wolf garden tools.

This seems to be a company from the U.K. I'm sure if you looked around,
they sell in the states also. Un-sure if their handels will fit your heads
though. I suggest that you look at your tool heads again for manufacturing
clues. Scotts makes nothing and they farm out those duties, so you may get
luck and find a manufacturer name in small print somewhere on the tool.
Then you can google it and hunt it down that way.

Btw, try froggle (part of google) to hunt down stuff. I've found many hard
to find items with froogle.
