Tools And Equipment

My FIL is in his early 70's and had a hip replacement a while ago (having worn his out with excessive Squash playing I expect!). He still skis

Many Thanks,I had no idea they were so closley related. I had seen the fixings mentioned but just wanted to check first.Cheers,Keith.

I agree, albeit a japanese steel silkyfox saw is better than the wolf.

I saw something yesterday which might fit the bill. A lawn aerator, like a fork with five or six hollow tines, I think it was £9.99.

Carboot carboot and carboot. Mine was a fiver-don`t know its make, don`t much care had it for about 4 yrs now, it looks a bit knackered and Ive had to replace some of the clips ( with garden twine) and blown the tyre back up but still going strong. Don`t buy new stuff ever if you can help it.

Yes! they were designed and built by engineers, not designed by someone who has never used one on the job and built by kids in an South East Asian country.Does anyone remember Holtums "Trusty Tractor", I think that was probably the fore runner of the Howard. It was a two wheeled (or walking)...

Im sentimentally atatched to my old massport mower as crap as it is due to it being the last tool i bought with my gramps help (it seamed a better machine lol) ive got the spare mowers down at my nans at the moment i think ill get rid of the hayterette though i never use it now ive got to have...

That's the beast! Thanks. I wonder if my Mum has still got it ...

Paul your a diamond. think im goona have to knock one of those up just a simple question does the blade swivel slitley and rocks back and forth , If it does it's all about working out how to sort out the stops

Evening Joanne, and welcome to the site. You could give www.eparkmowers.co.uk a try. I find them very helpful.:thumb:

well i use the cutter from time to time but ive only moved the handle once to see if it made a difference it didnt lol in wouldnt have bought it just for that feature i only really got it because i got it brand new for £200 when the new range came out

Yeah ive used them to:thumb: get mine from stax trade center just a little cheeper

Ill also add i got my public liability through ive also got my tools covered on the policy for an unbelevably cheep price came in handy to when i turned around one day and someone ran off with me strimmer

Id say Ryobi arnt to bad but might be a bit on the heavy side cant beat a sthil but not worth the money juat for your own garden if you ask me

DavidI guess the bulb planter would be fine for making the hole but using two trowels in a sort of pincer action lets you lift a small plant, or even fragile seedlings, out of the ground very cleanly.

It currently just says the order has been placed. They've already been paid for them so I'll give them an email chasing them up. Why don't people do what they're paid for anymore?

Since posting the original thread I have read a bit and decided to buy an old oil drum as an incinerator. There are one or two advertised on E Bay. Thanks for your replies.

Thanx alot 'The Master'.......all I need now is the points GAP and i'll be running.....all right, walking. C'mon you green fingered lot, there must be more info out there, looking for a coil too?????I'll be waiting patiently, regards, OC.

Vegman thanks for the advise all checked and blade sharp. I think it may be that since de-weeding feeding, rakeing and trying to make it look good plus the fact its north facing i need a better small mower as its never dry enough for a flymo. Iceni. yes thanks i'm already looking at prices for...

Hover mowers don't collect that much grass, so it's best to avoid these if you want good collection performance.Rotary's draw things up like a vacuum, very useful for collecting leaves in the autumn, however I wouldn't think they will draw up gravel.Cylinders are good if you have a nice...
