Title: spades
Post by: tomatoada on January 01, 2008, 09:41:17

Many years ago I bought a set of garden tools which have bright plastic yellow handles.  Does anyone recognise them.  I wish to replace the border spade which is stainless steel and very light weight.  I have looked on line and in garden centres but no luck.  I have considered  other makes but they seem so heavy.  Does anyone know where I might find one?

I remember "Bulldog" tools having bright yellow handles. I still have a fork over 30 yrs old with a not so yellow shaft!!
