Hi.

Can anybody advise me on the best brand / make of hand tools. It will
be a gift for a very keen gardener whose current crop of cheapo tools
keep breaking !

Are there any places online that anyone can recommend to buy from as
well.

I have had my Spear and Jackson stainless spades and forks for more than
20
years

My Spear and Jackson stainless steel fork lost a tine after about 1 year.

Well I don't know whether its me that's lucky or you that's unlucky but
various other family members have tools of the same make with no probs
