I came to the wolf garten addiction because I'm over 6' and wanted long poles for my tools.I also broke the trowel and didn't bother with the warranty but I did buy a new one. While the wolf garten one broke it lasted longer than others that I've broken, bit heavy handed with trowels.
It's good and solid with a little flex when full extended. I use it with a pruning saw in combination with the other pole with a hook to pull or steady branches, and a window cleaner to keep the missus happy.
I have an allotment and don't leave any tools on site so I take everything with me and remove when I've finished. These Wolf Garten Tools are a blessing as the Aluminium handle is light weight and I can carry any attachments I need in a bucket.
Good review. I'm new to the Wolfgarten brand and generally do not like tools that aren't aesthetically pleasing. Wood handles saturated with Pine Tar, developing that wonderful patina that only wood and iron can...... such a delight. All this plastic jive really aggravates me because I can see it in the landfills and road edges everywhere. Still, I have to admit that I do like the looks of their pole saw. I've got a different band and it is heavy as you could ask for, cumbersome beyond measure, and a general displeasure to use. Something a bit lighter for the light work I do would be nice, and I'm specifically shopping for things that are made in Europe or North America rather than the chicom territory or other nasty place. I think it's important that we support our own as much as we can, especially when we're talking about a quality tool that'll last for ages.
the only wolf garten tool I am unhappy with so far is the lawn edger, but I am quite brutal with them, I use a custom made one or my lawn edger attachment for the kombi.
At a customer's house they have the spinning cutting type wolf lawn edger. I've been meaning (for past three years lol) to try it out. But tbh am not expecting great things. It has a ball type thing that goes on the lawn. Have you seen them?
Love wolf garden tools, have used them for many years, my spring rake has lost two tines this last year but has done many hours work. My favourite tool is the push pull hoe👍
Good content Chris, the wire toothed rake i dont like and plastic rake, Gardena do better, however the Cultiweeder and most orher attachments are great ,wouldn't be wiirhout them.👍
Unless you really need the space like you only have a small shed or need to be mobile in a van etc then there are usually better tools for less money elsewhere. The only tool that I see Wolf Garten as the category leader is the scarifying rake with wheels on the side which is great.
Great job matey, really interesting as I have 3 Wolf tools, and love em. The hoe, Garden Fork, and claw. I love the lightness of them, and have great trust in their ability to get the job done. Definitely will be buying more of German reliability. Cheers!
I purchased my first hand tool 10+ years ago. I didn't expect it to last this long. Doubtful about the plastic clip thingee. But boy has it done some work, never failing to do what is demanded of it. I even put it on the long handle to reach the back of the border.I have many more tools and handles now. All the same high quality and efficiency. In my opinion they are the best.
@@TheCountryCottageGardener lol I'm 6.1 and have the same problem, I opted for extra long wooden handles but if they don't snap they bend like your back in that clip lol. Tall people problems 😅
A question, please: I want to scarify my suburban lawn. Should I get a wooden Wolf Garten handle or an extendable aluminium one? I’m wondering if the extendable handle would be strong enough for this purpose?

Lol it does become a addiction. Do you have the extending pole?
I have 2, got the shorter one cheap but needed the longer one for a job so bought that too.
@@Figure11_Home_and_Garden am tempted to get the extending one too but only if the price is right lol
It's good and solid with a little flex when full extended. I use it with a pruning saw in combination with the other pole with a hook to pull or steady branches, and a window cleaner to keep the missus happy.
@@Figure11_Home_and_Garden it's worth any amount of money to keep the good lady happy 😊
This was my family company! Love seeing people use what my grandfather, great and great great grandfather made!
Wow that's really cool. Thanks for commenting I love things like that.

I use Wolf tools mainly. Very strong and saves so much room.
Thats the two main things we all look for i think.
Thanks for the video tour of using Wolf Garten, I'll certainly consider them more now. 👍
Your welcome. Hope you enjoy my other videos too

@@TheCountryCottageGardener yeah I have seen them, thought about trying one out.
@@TKG I will try it out one day lol
Yes the lawn edger is excellent but it needs to be trod down in a caring gentle manner . They should of doubled the thickness
Hiya i have quite a collection of these tools can I ask a question do you sharpen any of them?
From the boy who cried wolf, to CHRIS THE GARDENER WHO COMMENDS WOLF GARDEN TOOLS 🧹🗡✂️👍👍
A brand well worthy of a scream and shout, a brand i couldn't work without lol
i use the spiky bastard upside down so just the roller for tittivating bare patches on lawns before seeding, works great
Love wolf garden tools, have used them for many years, my spring rake has lost two tines this last year but has done many hours work. My favourite tool is the push pull hoe👍
a well worth investment i'd say
They are the best tools unfortunately almost everything else (other brands) is lacking
Definitely worth the investment
do use a some of the wolf garden range but tend to favour the gardena multi tool range of tools.best wishes
Can't say I've used the Gardena range. Had many of the water related products which have always been good. Thanks for watching 👍
Thank you
What were you doing to break the trowel? Mine has taken allot of abuse and is still going strong after 15 years service?
Very little tbh. Nothing over stressing, just normal weeding
17:28 Wolf Garten does have wooden handles...
Good content Chris, the wire toothed rake i dont like and plastic rake, Gardena do better, however the Cultiweeder and most orher attachments are great ,wouldn't be wiirhout them.👍
Thanks very much. I'll be sure to take a look at the Gardena as it's popped up twice now 👍👍 glad your enjoying the channel 😍
Warranty is amazing. I've had poles replaced with no troubles.
That's really good to hear. Thanks for the input 👍👍👍🙏

😀Great video chap. We use quite a few of their attachments. Some fantastic products in their range. 👍🏻
Thanks very much 👍
Well Explained. Intresting
Glad you liked it

I find Wolfgarten tools to be excellent and have about 30 peices. So, it's a resounding YES from me!
Everyday is a wolfgarten work day 😂
Nice music 👍🏼
thanks
I love Wolf Garten tools and have loads
Wolfgarten are the best, great video 👍
I try my best 😌
I've got a chainsaw, having trouble
That's a shame
Love it all
I have not personally tried the range but my back is hurting just watching you bending over like that to rake etc.
Being 6.3 everything is a long way down 🤣
@@TheCountryCottageGardener lol I'm 6.1 and have the same problem, I opted for extra long wooden handles but if they don't snap they bend like your back in that clip lol. Tall people problems 😅
🤣🤣 TH-cam will probably recommend it to you now but ive just got a new extendable pole as my old one died 🤣
wolf garten are the best,great quality.
Your not wrong David. Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy my other videos also 👍
Great review and fantastic tools👍🏼
Why thank you sir 🙏
A question, please: I want to scarify my suburban lawn. Should I get a wooden Wolf Garten handle or an extendable aluminium one? I’m wondering if the extendable handle would be strong enough for this purpose?
Personally I would use a fixed handle one.
@@TheCountryCottageGardener Great! Thanks for such a rapid response. 👍
No problem. Hope your lawn works go well 👍👍
