Default tools from ukhs.tv

UKHS.TV retail Wolf tools with the broken W (\\/olf) not to be confused
with Wolf-Garten who's logo is a wolf head.
You should be aware I am not implying their products are not value for
money.

ukhs.tv claim to be the home of Wolf.
I was thinking of a purchase but have been put off by a few things I am
not happy with on their website. Wolf, BMC bottom of home page leading
brands they once were but only remain in name. Spares delivered the
following day (subject to availability) now this would concern me if
something was on warranty for one year and after it required spares, the
words in brackets would be their 'Get out of jail' card if you asked for
spares and they said we no longer stock spares for that model which
would then make the purchase un-economical. Three times they have evaded
my request for Wolf tool manufacturer I have sent them a fourth after
they only gave their sales desk number. The other concern is looking at
the reviews many not referring to the tool purchased but the quick
efficient delivery, with the odd one referring to a tool/s. had any
issues with this company?.


With gardening tools the dearest is often the cheapest in the long run. I
use a number of Wolf-Garten tools and can vouch for their durability and
quality. The fact that I know both Kew Gardens and RHS Wisley use their push
pull weeder says a lot. (I prefer the smaller one of the two as it gets
between veg rows.)
Why buy cheap rubbish that breaks or wears out in a season just as they are
getting worn in.
