If it's autumn, it's raking time. A good rake is a valuable tool at certain times of year, and this sturdy rake is good for raking leaves or removing moss from lawns. The tines have an L-shaped ending, meaning that the teeth will lightly scarify the surface they rake over. If raking leaves, try to use them in compost or as leaf mould where they can be put on the soil in coming years. This sturdy yet somewhat flexible rake from Bulldog has a plastic fan, a light amount of spring and 26 tines. €5.00 Nationwide delivery charge.

This is Bulldog's most heavy-duty spade - and that's saying something.

It is designed primary for those in the nursery business and is used for digging rootballs and prizing open the ground. Hand forged in the UK, this is a tool - like our taller Bulldog Irish spade - that is designed to last and to be a pleasure to use over many years. Click on the image on the right for more views.

A pruning saw is an essential tool for anyone with trees or shrubs to look after. Designed for cutting branches, sometimes a pruning saw is a lot more useful than a chain saw - and it folds up neatly and is relatively lightweight. The blade is triple-ground with a hard-chrome plating for longer durability and protection against rust.  Additional curing on the tip of each tooth ensures longer durability.  A safety lock on the handle prevents against unintentional opening or closing of the blade. Swiss-made by Felco, the world's number 1 manufacturer of garden cutting tools. Replacement blades available. Length of blade: 160mm. Caution! This tool is very sharp and should not be used by children. Not subject to minimum order. Free nationwide delivery.
