Wolf Tools.

[skarloey]

Someone gave a link to a Wolf push/pull hoe the other day (which went into my prezzie/favourites folder ;D) and I had a proper look at one today.
I really like the idea of one handle and inter-changeable heads as we're not allowed a shed at the allotment and this would make lugging everything up there a little easier.

BUT...... are Wolf tools worth their money? Is there any other push/pull hoes that are as good/better for that price range? I 'spose I'm just after opinions really. Can anyone help? ;D

Don't forget, the handles are separate (look to the right on the link).

Hi Skarloey, its the best hoe I have ever used and IMO well worth the money. I have two different widths of the hoe and can interchange them at will. I also have a head for getting rid of tap rooted weeds. Seen the handle and a couple of heads on special offer at GC's which were an absolute bargain, worth looking out for.

Thanks Roxann The site on the link have a 'buy any 4 and get 20% off' special at the moment. I'm VERY tempted. ;D

Hi Skarloey, I was recommended Wolf some time ago when I wanted a tree lopper. Very well made products from what I've seen and I'm chuffed to bits with the Lopper I got. I found the Wolf products very expensive in the GC's

I used this site tooled-up.com and was pleased with their service the link takes you to the Hoe your looking at and the handles are listed below

[skarloey]

Hi Chuckles, thanks for the link. That hoe is in fact the bigger one.... but I think I'll want both. ;D ;D ;D They are cheaper but was just trying to work out the 20% off on the other site. They will be a birthday prezzie so OH said he'll have a look later but he also said there's a 10% off day at Homebase on friday too and he's sure they sell them there too. Pam'll know. ;D

So that's 2 who are pro Wolf. Anyone else got an opinion? ;D

I don't have this particular head, but I have a few Wolf products and am very happy with them. I have the ordinary dutch hoe head, two types of rake, cultivating head (small head with three prongs), saw, half moon and various handles. I must admit I would rather use my old hoe that my dad gave me, many moons ago, but other than that, I like them. This push pull one could be my next one, I have looked at it various times, but I keep thinking is it worth the money if I like my old hoe. It is expensive, but very flexible.

Ooh ooh thanks Keith, what do you think of the cultivator? I was looking at that and wondered if it was any good.

(Oh God, watch out, she's getting excited again!) ;D ;D ;D

It is the Cultiweeder I have and very useful and I got a short handle just for this attachment. Might also get the larger one as well later, but I will see.

What you have to do is look and see if you need 4 items as if you only need 2, then getting 4 to get 20% off is not a bargain.
Have I brought you down to earth yet???

I use wolf tools at work, i've a got a couple of hoes and a rake head, they are very good tools to use, good length and very strong.

I ran over the rake with my quad and snapped but had a spare shaft so quick change of the heads and was back to work within a couple of minutes. ;D

Nope ;D I need a hoe and a rake and I like the look of the little rake and I might as well have both size hoes and and and.......
Actually, I thought you meant this little contraption:

I like the look of it but can it really work?

Hi Paul, thanks for your opinions too ;D It's great to be able to ask on here before you buy. I noticed you mentioned length and they come in three sizes. Being a 5'1 AND A HALF" short @rse I 'spose I ought to go for the little one?

[madonplants]

It sounds OK, but pricey I think! I haven't used one, so maybe somebody who has can say if it works or not!
