Default Iv'e got a new toy

For Christmas I was given a Wolf hand fork with a detachable short handle. The fork is really tough ahd does'nt bend when I hit a lump of flint But it is HEAVY and was playing havock with my wrists However not to be beaten I bought a medium length handle for it and it works a treat. Easy to fork over the ground between plants and not to actually get on the soil and can be used one handed.

For the short handle I bought a small claw cultivator but it will fit on the longer handle.

We have the rake, cultivator and hand fork heads and a long handle. They are fantastic!

Mmmm, think I'll write to Santa now, if you can interchange handles and the 'business end' like that they sound perfect for just about everything.
