That's them

 

The small ones weren't big enough the big ones not flexible enough but mid size are excellent well worth the money whatever it was.

Similar to a thing called a "future fork" it's a horsey thing, my old boss back in the 90s with always going on about 'em, "You see boy it's a rake and a fork!"

they're on FB if you Google it. (was good mind just a bit fragile, God help you if you broke a tine on it!)

Shame, used to do some work for a firm who had one, been looking for one since started doing my own bits as was a handy tool, would have been perfect for today, been reducing privet hedges so tiny leaves everywhere a normal rake won't touch

Bet she was thrilled... :laugh1:

Kettle for valentine's day? Always goes down well... Trust me :blushing:

 

Joking aside, I want one! :thumbup1:

 

 

I bought her slug pellets once too - she'll probably mention that to you if she meets you!:blushing:

 

This time I was safe though - it was on her Christmas list :biggrin:

If you get no joy I could have a go at making them up in my workshop, doesn't look too complicated, anyone got any photos of the back of it or a description of any strengtheners or stiffeners on the back of the blade?

I can't remember anything on the back but the link to the pictures of them above shows some screws so may have been. The plastic was about 1cm thick, pretty rigid with small amount of flex

They were just bolted to the handle noting to strengthen it, they were hard to break

 

Someone tried making a similar thing out of old wheely bins but they were too brittle and didn't have enough of a bend in it to make a decent shovel
