Durable litter pickers

Posted by Dan Frazer Gardening on September 7, 2010 at 5:39pm in Machinery
My B&Q pickers have just died, plus they have been needing more and more pressure from the finger to actually grab anything. Can anyone recommend comfy and long-lasting pickers that I can buy online somewhere?(Boring thread I know, sorry!)

    Hi Dan 

    We use these http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d.html/ref=redir_mdp_mobile/279-27512...

    Like you we used to use the b&q ones which we found were ok but they had none in stock. 

    It's not a boring thread ( wish more were like this :)

    Cheers - that's the crap B&Q ones though! The cord seems to be made of a high friction material that doesn't run smoothly at all.

    Will get the card out and bust the bank on one of the others ;)

      The ones we got from b&q were crappy plastic things like big tweezers. 

      Do like pro guards. 

      May try to break mine :)

    The product we have was made by Gardena, don't know if they still make it. 2 Tools in one a grabber and a spike for paper.
    Very robust construction.
