Although mostly known for their superb woodworking tools, Lee Valley
in Canada also do a wide range of gardening tools.
I am looking for what they rather confusingly call a "power rake", see
http://www.leevalley.com/en/garden/p...t=2,44821&ap=1
as a quiet way of de-thatching my grass.
Transport costs for such an awkward item to UK (or Europe) is
prohibitive.

Anyone know a place on this side that stocks Lee Valley garden
products ?

Why not ask them?

Also shiping without a handle would help.

Thanks for the feedback.
Yes, I will see if Axminster can help.
I have contacted Lee Valley directly (admittedly last autumn):
shipping was exhorbitant and they wern't keen to ship without
handle.
A Google surf-around suggest N. American users are very happy with it
for thatch.

Brimarc (www.brimarc.com) are their importer of woodworking tools. They
may be able to help although I think they are now owned by Axminster
anyway. They certainly indicated to me a while ago that they could get any
of the Lee Valley woodworking tools if I wanted them.
