Recommended hand tools
"Bob Hobden" wrote in message ... "Broadback" wrote in message I am looking for good quality hand tools, having Googled this group I can find no clear recommendation. However I found S&J Neverbend brand, has anyone any comments on them, good, bad or ugly. I am changing over slowly to Wolf Garden Multichange tools. Excellent quality and a well designed system too. http://www.wolf-garden.com/public_uk...e_id=967025460 -- Regards Bob I find **some** of the wolf tool heads seems a bit too heavy for the strength of the handle (long). Oddly enough, their longest handle (telescopic to 4 metres) is quite fine. What I find, especially with compacted soil, is that much of the energy expended by me gets diverted onto the handle's weakness and not on what I'm aiming at. Nevertheless I can never quite resist another gadget and so have quite a range of them. That said, they are superior than their gardenia equivalents and by quite a stretch. (though gardenia seem to have come up with a nifty gutter cleaner) Most of my other hand tools I've brought over from Ireland and replenish occasionally. This is because I like the long handled spades/shovels/forks and the sheer variety in these is very useful (e.g. about 7 different spades and shovels, digging fork, mushroom fork (excellent for empting out compost heaps) potatoes forks (good for screening stones), pitch fork (good for turning compost) and so on. I did make a trip to homebase once and discovered to my delight, a digging fork with an extended short handle and it's quite good, as are the spade versions. Patrick |
