Johnny Foreigners, AKA Gardena, guns don't fall apart :-)

Your milege may vary but I have owned two Gardena guns which have
"fallen apart" in the past couple of years -- and two Hozelock guns
which haven't!

Gardena are German of course but "Johnny Foreigner" covers a multitude
of other sins including products of highly dubious quality which have
arrived here as cheap imports from the Far East. Apart from their
quality, or lack of it, you don't get much/anything in the way of
service and support.... which is why I was pleased to see a British
company taking interest and responsibility here.
