Hand tools for Every days jobs

Posted by Rich AGS on February 24, 2013 at 8:54am

T think much as we talk about the best mowers and hedge cutters on here etc , just as important about good hand tools and different makes and what people use.

I use most of the time the same brand ( Bulldog tools ) i find there very strong and last a long time, but do understand for good tools you pay the price for them , do you buy all your tools on line or shop around or can you recommed a good supplier

    We buy online usually,Bulldog, for edging irons, spades and the like, but for small hand tools I recommend Burgon and Ball, their Japanese razor hoes and trowels are excellent quality.

    Wolf Garten interchangeable stuff is well made and durable if space is at a premium in the van. I also like bull dog stuff, but my favourite for secateurs is Bahco, the ergonomic type as they fit my hand perfectly and i never get any hand strain, which was a common problem before i came across them.

    Hi, Garden goodies is a pretty good site for tools, they stock lots of brands inc Bulldog and Wolf garten (nice light rakes but not amazingly strong). Felco I find best for pruners.

    Agree with Anthony, love Wolf Garten stuff especially diferent length interchangeable shafts good for in the 'car boot' or the van. As for secateurs Darlac Professional Pruners I discovered 2 years ago are almost as good as Felco and excelent value about £16.00 if i remember,reach for them more than the felco's these days.
