Bulldog Hand Tools- Tough enough for the landscapers

Through my years of work Landscaping in West Sussex, I have lost count of the numbers of forks, spades shovels and rakes I've taken out for a days work and have sadly never made it back home.  Whether its a handle snapping because its made of a low quality piece of timber, or the metal weldings have sheared and split, either way the numbers are well into the double figures.  I'm a strong lad and work my tools hard but to add insult to injury the tools aren't cheap to start with so you would expect a reasonable amount of reliability, durability and strength, however this is generally not the case!

But wait, have you heard of Bulldog Tools ?  I hadn't for a number years until someone in the landscaping community suggested I try a new brand of tools known for being robust, hardwearing, reliable and fantastic value for money  My first investment was a Grafting Shovel, with a long metal handle its generally used for digging fence post holes and gets a bit of abuse levering posts and lumps of stone in the ground.  True to reputation this tool has been a fantastic weapon of choice, it has done everything requiered and where previous predecessors  would bend and eventually snap, this tool has kept on going and going!

Since then, Bulldog has become my number one choice for where I go to buy any new hand tools.  The picture above is my two latest purchases the Irish Spade (left) and the Bulb planter (right).  The irish spade has been a fantastic little shovel, when times were tight digging footing trenches by hand, its compact handle and smaller head were pefect for getting in the tight spots where other shovels would have struggled, alternatively its a perfect  little shovel for turning over garden flowerbeds in the home enviroment.  The buld planter is for jobs in autumn/winter when buld planting will commence, this tool will be worth its weight in gold when it comes to planting over 2000 bulbs!

Whats Bulldogs secret to sucess I hear you ask?  Well their range of shovels, forks, spades and many others tools are nothing less than you would expect from this company thats been in buisness for over 200 years.  The use of high quality materials in production combined with years of expierence create and end product head and shoulders above the competition.  They cater for all types of people whether your a hobby gardener, a landscaper like myself or even in the public sector working with underground services like electricity.  Bulldog have many different ranges of tools to suit everyones needs.  Visit their website http://www.bulldogtools.co.uk/ for everything you and your garden could possibly want.
