Joseph Bentley!

Morning everyone. I recently purchased a JB midi fork from all places TK Maxx! The thing is great, it feels quality and is very sturdy. So I went back and bought myself a small JB stainless trowel, this thing is indestructible. My neighbour has a few tools but they are cheap and have all nearly broken now. He says I am a fool for spending allot of money on garden tools, but being a builder I know how valuable a good well made tool is. I am thinking now of investing in all JB tools as they are of outstanding quality. I know allot of it is the name but I also like the feel of the wooden handles, as I hate plastic. Anyone else use these tools?

I saw those in TK Maxx in the summer but forgot to give a heads up. Lovely tools, webpage here

i have a JB border spade & fork + hand trowel & fork, they've been C******S & birthday pressies over the last few years and they are as you say fantastic quality and a fabulous to use. I would highly recomend them

We have sold them at work and rarely have any returned with faults, they look nice too

I always get them if I can. Their long handled bulb planter is brilliant. I use it all year round.

As Steve points out - It is often expensive to buy cheap - Good quality tools will last a lifetime.

(Tools from my 'armoury' include: Elwell Fork, 40+ years old, Rolcut Secateurs 50+yrs, Brades trowel 70+yrs, Bulldog hand fork 50+yrs, Inherited, Spade, rake and hoe all over 50 yrs old - all in use most days!!)

Bently have a nice range of small tools for children. They are part of the Solus Group which includes Yeoman Tools.

Hi everyone, glad everyone agrees with me on the Joseph Bentley range. As a do a bit of hedge laying I like old tools, because the steel is usually is of good quality an sharpens well. Here is a link to a great website who specialise in old tools garden tools

I read billhooks at the side of the page then had a chuckle, remembering the two ronnies set....four candles?
that was fun, I like sharp shiny things
must remember to get my axes sharpened

Excellent! Thanks for posting - I also love old tools. The Daisy Grubbers are great - I have a new shiney one in our Caravan, and use it as an Awning Peg-puller!

I only use JB spades and forks. I did have one where the spade split where the socket is formed but a photo and an email had a new one sent out. They are fabulous bits of kit.

If you like JB tools with stainless steel buy them now. They are changing to carbon steel in the very near future
