hand tools

[Dave D]

Hi all, i want to get some decent hand tools ie bowsaw, loppers, pruners but need some advice on what brands to look for. I would sooner pay out for something decent thats going to last than "buy cheap buy twice"!

 

any advice apreciated, thanks

[Joe]

dont get a bowsaw, get a silky handsaw. and for pruners go for felco

[Stephen Blair]

your local dealer i think will be fr jones and son, they are advertised on here at the side. stick with felco and silky, you wont go wrong.

wolf garten do some good stuff, I agree with the silky thing tho, far better than any bow saw

got silky but thinking of bowsaw for slightly larger stuff as an 020 is a little out of my price range at the moment. will have a look at the felco range, cheers for the advice so far joe and swb:001_smile:

bow saws are rubbish mate compared to the new handsaws, there is a huge handsaw a lot of guys use, i cant remember what its called though, comes with a big yellow scabbard.. and why dont you get a little stihl ms 180. really light and tough, and they are pretty cheap too.
