    Wolf Multi Tools

    Been away for the weekend visiting my mum. She must have been having a clear out as while I was there she said she had a rake type tool which she'd picked up from my Grandad's house after he'd died. Anyway, we go out to the garage and she pulls out two Wolf Multi tools and a long and short handle. The tools were a large three pronged cultivator type thing and a much smaller grubber type tool. Not had chance to try them yet but they look dead good (and free!). Anyway, I've heard these are pretty good tools and I've looked at them before but been a bit put off by the cost. However, assuming I find the ones I've got are good, does anybody have any recomendations of other tools I could try - mum mentioned something about maybe buying me another add on for my birthday. Your input would be appreciated.

    Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

    Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

    the weed extractor! have the spade type handle and weed extractor go great together!
    Never test the depth of the water with both feet

    The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory....

    Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.

      That three-pronged thing sounds like the thing I found in Mr Sweepster's shed when I moved in... been using it to lever up paving slabs
      Are you meant to dig with it?

        Many years ago when I was running a gardening project in London and had 200 gardeners working for me, I had an account with Wolf and used to buy their fixed head tools. The fact that I've still got loads of them after 25 years (with the original wooden handles) plus a trowel and hand fork, and they all get well used, says it all I think.

        I now use Wolf Multi tools all the time and have many many of them, long and short handles inclusing the extending pole type things for pruning trees etc etc. Although they're relatively expensive, I'd recommend them wholeheartedly, fixed head and multi tools.

        I have no financial interest in this at all now but just think that you should buy (or have bought for you) the very bestest tools you can afford and 'named' types can always be sent back for maintainance. Like Felco secateurs.

          I've seen that weed extractor advertised in catalogues - the one for getting rosette tyoe weeds out of lawns, and been very tempted. I was put off though, cos I thought it might be like one of those multi kitchen gadgets you see at trade fairs etc - brilliant when they are being demonstrated, but rubbish when you get them home.

          Any more recommendations for it?
          Never say never!

            I have the rake head, the small fork (brilliant for weeding at the back of a border) and the cultivator heads and a long handle. Bought them about 15 years ago and they get constant use. I agree with Tony - if you buy the best you can you only need to buy it once.

              Any you particularly recommend then Tony? Was very excited by this freebie find and now am interested in getting more!

                These are fantastic at getting rid of dandelions off my lawns. The spade handle gives you the grip to twist the extractor and to pull out.

                Other Wolf multi-tools include hoe and rake, but my fave has to be the soil miller

                    Mine was a present

                    Whilst you could buy a cheaper rake or hoe I doubt you'll find a better soil miller!

                        Aye, though for a seed bed I might sieve the soil after

                            The Soil Miller is superb, use that all the time. The hand fork and trowel heads are brilliant, especially if you're hard on toold like I am or have big hands. You can also use them on the longer poles, makes weeking easier. Weed extractor for sure. Greek saw, lopper head, hook for pulling branches down, the seed planter, great for spacings.

                            ANYTHING, but if you're into veggies, soil miller is well worth the money.
