Hand trowel & fork suggestions
"Bella" wrote in message ... Today I snapped my hand trowel from the handle, the third time in recent weeks. I am now left with two hand forks, the first fork also snapped. The latest trowel to snap was a recommended good make. Any recommendations for a *VERY* good make would be most welcome. TIA.

It still works, but I must admit I don't use it for dislodging big stones. I have a small hand pick for that. Franz |

"Janet Baraclough.." replied. snip My favourite set are so old (around 25 years) that the makers labels have long since worn off, but I think you can still buy them. They won a design award and are really comfortable to use. --- Thanks for your replies. I was digging round everlasting sweetpea roots when the trowel snapped. Pity the trowel wasn't everlasting too, considering the price I paid for the set! Ah well, I search on. Bella |

Thye don't make the S&J one I have any more, but SJ5030HR 'heritage' is similar, should be under £10. Don't know how well it might perform, but looks well made. Or you might want to look at the Draper Carbon Steel Hand Trowel 32327 which has a different method of attachment to the handle, not a simple tang. Only seen it in shops, but it's cheap enough. About £6 |

Any recommendations for a
*VERY* good make would be most welcome. I can't speak to specific brands, but a professional nursery trowel of forged carbon steel with a socket design handle will only need to be purchased once a lifetime unless lost or stolen. They cost about $20 US dollars, perhap 11 UK pounds. |

Wickes (own brand). Best trowel I've had - sturdy welded steel. Cost only a
handful of squids. Edwin. |
