Called into B & Q to day to price things, and saw the range of long handled
tools they had, some were pure C**p, the spade in particular with the shaft
welded to the face of the blade.......
Talk about a tool that is guaranteed to clog and get packed with soil. Very
bad design.
I wouldn't have one for 19p let alone over £19.00.

I'm particularly unimpressed by the Wolf-Gerate range of tools, where
a range of tools can plug into a variety of different handles and long
poles.
Sounds like a good idea but the amount of play in the joint is just awful.

Just shows that one man's meat is another's poison. I love my Wolf
tools - they have really made a difference to my gardening since I got
new sharp blades on the hoes etc, and since I have to walk 200m from
th car park to my allotment, it makes a major difference to the amount
I can carry if I only have to lug about one pole with the tools in a
carrier bag. I haven't noticed any wobble either; if anything, I have
difficulty getting them OUT to change over heads.

Did you think of buying a second hand golf trolley at a car boot sale?
