About this deal
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. A slightly shorter handle aids manoeuvrability, making it ideal for smaller plots or gardeners who prefer a more compact tool. The lower part of the carbon-steel blade is uncoated so it can be sharpened and it comes with a lifetime guarantee. Carbon steel blades are a little lighter, tougher and can be solid forged – where the blade and socket are made from one continuous piece of metal – so there is less chance of snapping. All DeWit tools come with a lifetime guarantee against manufacturing defects, making them a truly once in a lifetime purchase.
You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Stainless steel blades are also always welded onto the socket, which creates a weak spot vulnerable to breaking under pressure.
