RANGE REVIEW: TOOLS & ACCESSORIES
right, time after time. With a rake head manufactured
from high quality, tempered carbon steel, this garden tool is built to last and is capable of withstanding whatever the garden throws at it. The utilisation of tempered steel says goodbye to weak points and increases rigidity, flexibility and longevity - think wear resistance and ultimate strength.
DOUBLE-SIDED SOIL RAKE OFFERS MULTIPLE FUNCTIONALITIES
Brought to market based on more than 250 years of tool expertise, the all-new portfolio of garden and lawn tools from AMES Tools offers something a little different. One of the latest tools is the Carbon Steel Double-Sided Soil Rake. Double-sided tines offer multiple functionalities. Use the longer tines for heavy-duty jobs such as loosening soil, levelling gravel or collecting weeds and debris
from winter weather and garden maintenance. The shorter, finer tines are perfect for preparing seedbeds or scarifying lawns.
The 16 carbon steel tines provide
increased efficiency, with every rake movement efficiently loosening the top layer of soil to help prep the ground for seeds and seedling planting. The 16 tines also provide greater strength, making this a rake that can be trusted to do the job
TOUGH, MULTI-PURPOSE SHEARS
Sometimes you need something stronger than scissors but not as strong as tin-snips? Try these heavy-duty, multi-purpose shears (part number 8613), fitted with stainless steel blades and suitable for cutting cable, wire gauze, hose, plastic, gaskets and leather. The spring-loaded handles make these 200mm long shears easy to use, especially with the soft- grip handles that also feature a convenient safety lock. The blades are manufactured
from corrosion and acid-resistant SS420 J2 stainless steel and the micro-serrated edge will ensure you’ll get an easy, accurate cut every time. Extra grip, reduced slippage, comfortable to use, keep a set in the toolbox.

MAKE LIGHT WORK OF TOUGH GARDEN JOBS
Chainsaws can seem intimidating to use, especially to those of a smaller build, but they are highly effective in tackling some of the bigger cutting tasks in the garden. Now, Greenworks - one of the UK’s leading brands of cordless gardening and power tools – has released a 24V battery-powered 10cm Brushless Pruning Saw / Mini Chainsaw. It provides an easy-to-handle alternative to large chainsaws and is perfect for safely and effectively cutting small tree limbs and branches, and pruning. The new Greenworks Mini Chainsaw couldn’t be easier to use. It comes with a 10cm bar and chain, measures a compact 43.89 x 8 x 20.8cm, and weighs less than 2kg (about the weight of one standard brick), meaning it can be handled by anyone. Being a battery-powered device, there is no petrol and no cable to get in the way or restrict your movement around the garden. Furthermore, a simple push button is all it takes to get started. Maintenance is also made very straightforward, with tool-less tensioning of the bar and chain, no carburettor, and no spark plug to clean.
It is not just ease of use that makes the Greenworks Mini Chainsaw an effective garden tool, but also its recommended retail price point of £99.00 (tool only) and its performance. The brushless motor provides double the torque, for more power, longer run-times, quiet operation and extended motor life. Furthermore, the battery is interchangeable with more than 30 Greenworks garden, power, and indoor products. The Greenworks 24V battery-
powered 10cm Brushless Pruning Saw / Mini Chainsaw can be purchased direct from www.
greenworkstools.co.uk and, for trade customers, from www.
