Need to buy some garden tools; spades, fork, etc.

Unimpressed by the offerings at the local hardware stores and the DIY chains, all priced around the £20 mark and don't look up to the job. Keen to buy something of high quality that will last.

What should I be buying?

Thanks

Davi

Spear and Jackson.

Got a set as a wedding present, they had a "10 year guarantee" sticker on them.

9 years later and I broke the fork prongs a few weeks back. Annoyed I got the spade to continue digging and the handle broke hehe

On a cheeky whim I emailed S&J and informed them they were 9 years old but the guarantee stated 10 years - I had no receipt, didn't even know where they were bought from as they were a pressie.

2 days and 4 emails later (from a very saucy sounding young lady!) a shiny new set landed on my doorstep!
