Bought a Chillington hoe of the net and it came.....without a handle, most dissapointing. Freely available was the small print when I looked hard enough, and I deduced it was freely available from the same seller + about £7 postage. It is H-H4 and can someone tell me where to get one?
We called them 'Stockers' and G-Parent cut his handles from a copse!:D Mind you they were always beautifully weighted and easy to use. Try a G-Centre or G-Machinery ,perhaps your local Building supplies carry a selection as does mine.
"Freely available was the small print when I looked hard enough, and I deduced it was freely available from the same seller + about £7 postage." Direct from the stockist of the head, but phone and complain about the confusion and they might waive the postadge. Bought elsewere youll still pay around £7 and the eye size may be wrong.
I wouldn't worry about the eye size, if it's wrong, shave it down with a plane, spokeshave or file. Don't get one that is too small, it's not safe to pad it out. When you have got the handle in the socket, you then need a hammer wedge (cast iron) to wedge it to prevent it coming off.
Thanks to those that replied, I didnt know how to read them at first as I am a novice on here and thought that I had none. The moderator took th etime to explain the method. Much obliged, Paul
