Gardena is pretty meh and way overpriced IMO

I go with Wolf-Garten, excellent stuff for a good price.

I have multiple gardena and their lifespan is roughly a year or two,it's not made to be kept outside. The plastics junctions begin to fail quite fast.

Just bought a couple from Aldis own brand for £3, they seem nicely made and way better than the karcher it replaced

Not a fan of gardena, too much plastic that breaks easily.

Geka is German and sells a system that relies on brass instead: https://www.geka.de/home-garden/

That looks fancy. Never seen it in my area.

Kent & Stowe make great spades and garden forks.

When you need 4k HDR water.

Is this fake? Quite funny to be honest 😄

Idealspaten (German) builds spades, forks etc. that are really heavy quality and which tolerant all kind of abuse. I own a Kraftspaten Plus and you can use it as a lever to move heavy bolders or dig through rock hard soil.

[–] whaleross@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Fiskars is my go to for tools, scissors, knives and kitchen things.

just dont buy their garden shears, they fucking suck!

[–] zarlin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

For garden shears Felco from Switzerland is great

[–] Mex@feddit.uk 0 points 1 week ago

agreed, mine have been great, but when I was buying a few years ago there were lots of fakes on the market.
