Nice piece, I had to adjust it to fit the hoe. The material looks strong. Careful at the first few times handling it may not feel so confortabile for your hands.
But to sum, I’m pretty sure its a great hoe handle, just not what i bought it for.
I bought this with a mattock head and I must say it looks like the business. You have to soak the rod and mattock in a bucket of water for a day or so to allow the shaft to expand, but after that the mattock head is tightly bound to the rod and ready to do work on the allotment. So much easier than a spade, an essential garden tool. The rod itself is well made and feels solid with a satisfying degree of heft.
It fitted perfectly on mine. The original shaft broke. My old one was basically parallel with a black plastic tapered bit that slid on the bottom. This shaft has the wider tapered end all in one with the shaft, if you can get what I mean. Sorry I don’t know what make mine was.
Bought this to replace a broken handle for a Silverline GT52 digger hoe, this is fine it fits perfectly. How strong, and durable it is remains to be seen hence only 4 stars.
Strong handle but as with all wood it has its limits. Broke previous one trying to dig out fir tree root. Attached to a hoe and normal to heavy weeding would not stress it. Fit harbour housewares full size azada.
