Best Garden Tools

Why it broke – Well I used this axe and don't get me wrong I love it but it broke on me,I'm hard on axes but it shouldn't of snapped of the head of the axe. Show details

Ok for most soft weeds, but struggled with crows foot, plastic flexed too much and eventually slide section cracked after 1 hrs use. Show details

I can't wait for rain – The Crystal Rain Gauge is beautifully made and I am looking forward to mounting it as a replacement for the plastic gauge I have been using for… Read more

several years. I can't comment on ease of use until we get rain, and that could be some time. One complaint I have is regarding communication from the seller. I emailed and phoned several times about my order but never got a reply.

Weather or not – Worked well for 1 month then indoor unit failed to read outdoor unit. Batteries were fine.

I recently purchased a 115L gorilla cart for my 78 year old mother who still likes to get out and attend to her gardens. I saw the gorilla 115L cart… Read more

and was impressed with the steering and the tip feature thinking it would alot easier for my mum to manoeuvre around. Once it arrived and I started putting it together I was so impressed with the easy step by step instructions. It even had the bolts in a package with each step clearly marked on the instructions page and had each bolts set marked for each step. It took 20mins to put together with ease.

Worked great – Bought 2017 and worked great from the start. Battery seems to last forever Show details

Rubbish! Spent hours trying to connect the Wi-fi function inside the app Then contacted support at Holman To their credit they were very friendly but… Read more

they are asking me to contact my modem provider to get the modem to only operate on 2.4GH not 5 or both Absolute waste of time and will be refunded at Bunnings All this to find a timer to water the lawn OMG

WHAT A PITY handle is not adjustable – What a pity that they did not make handle adjustable so you can make hole in tight spots. And spare blades not easy to find. Otherwise it is good tool to have.

Great machine – Over the years I have had a few post hole diggers this one out does them all as a one man machine, would recommend this digger to anyone, worth every cent Show details

It's sturdy, durable, and makes thatching work so much easier. The quality is excellent, and it feels reliable even during heavy use. A must-have tool for anyone maintaining their lawn or garden!

stripped a gear after pruning one pear tree – Stripped gear, contacted Ryobi Australia to order and pay for the requisite part. They couldn't care less. aAdvised me to visit my nearest Bunnings. Well I'm on Kangaroo Island and I don't have the $500 to go to Adelaide. Show details

This is the first one I got. Out of the box it has an issue. See attached video. I'll do a complete review when I get it exchanged. Show details

These are really good quality and I have used them many times. Show details

Best manual aerator I've used – Wow - I didn't expect that! It really does remove the cores as described [It pulls finger size cores out of the ground like nothing]. I have used a… Read more

few "other brands" much cheaper... you really do get what you pay for here. Its still cheaper than hiring a power corer for the size lawns I was working with.

I'm in VIC and I used it on 200m2 of Kikuyu. It didn't actually take as long as thought [the 4 cores make it that much better] & and doesn't need much force, though I used this in spring so the ground isn't dry but is really compacted mixed with clay and this thing just cut through it like nothing!

I do recommend to [clean it] & "anti-rust" spray it after every use.

Great telescopic wand with easy to control water flow valve, really extendable for accurate watering hard to reach beds and it has 10 patterns that… Read more

all work very well. I was really impressed it was the cheapest from Bunnings $11.40 and bought another one 6 months later. Too Bad it's NOT available in Bunnings anymore. Only available via Ebay Australia for 4X the price I paid. I've been using them everyday trouble free now for more than 2 years. If some holes get blocked, use a hard bristle toothbrush to clean off blockage.

IMPRESSIVE QUALITY, ALTHOUGH A LITTLE EXPENSIVE I baulked at the price of the AEG when compared to DeWalt and several other 18V secateurs, but I… Read more

concluded that it's a better product than its competitors, and its reviews also backed this up. Having now used these secateurs extensively, I can only say it's a very good quality tool, does a great job, and the small 2AH battery lasts forever as they claim!

Overall, I do think the AEG Secateurs are a little overpriced, but like they say... "quality remains long after the price is forgotten".

LOVE these pruners – These ratchet pruners have changed my life! I had no idea how easy pruning could be till I got these. I have weak wrists and arms and I only have… Read more

to use 1/2 to 1/3 of the amount of muscle I used to use with normal good quality pruners. They are very light and easy to use, though it took me a few times to get used to how to use them, which is by squeezing and releasing the handle a few times for the ratchet mechanism to adjust down each time I squeezed till it cut through the branch.... The little on/off button that slides across and locks the pruners closed doesn't always slide all the way across though, just enough to lock them... if I keep having this problem I'll call them, I've only had them a few weeks.

The usability of the device reminds me of the VCRs in the 80s - convoluted, difficult to read, unintuitive and needlessly complex. Unsurprisingly, the written instructions are of little help. Show details

Maybe not working now! – I bought it from Bunnings about nine months ago and worked fine until now. Watered a plant then inserted the meter said it was dry. Tried other plants that should be moist but again showed dry. Does it have a battery? Show details

Very good timer despite hopeless instoffructions – Once I understood HOW to use it, I found this timer very reliable and easy to programme. Left it on while we went away for a week midsummer- did the… Read more

job beautifully. But the instruction book was atrocious, something which is far too common these days. They would have been better off simply giving a website address (which they didn't). Fortunately it was easy enough to do a general search and find the vid on youtube. Good video, good instructions, which is more than can be said for the book which came with the product.

the sprinkler arrived today wanted to try it straight away was disappointed some holes were blocked or half blocked ans doesn't fan out enough i only have a small lawn area so i thought it would do the job but it doesn't Show details

OK, but will not last long – I don't recommend this product. I have had two of these, one worked ok for at least two years but then the gas canister clip or seal failed and it… Read more

burst into a ball of flame... By the time I put it out it was buggered. I bought another one on special from a home hardware store closing down sale, and that too worked ok until the gas seal was leaking... So of course we remove the gas canister constantly - my wife uses this for lighting the wood heater, I have a much larger propane one for killing weeds and that is much more effective than this ever was. This small unit is ok for tiny weeds and doing a small court yard but no good for anything more adventurous The plastic clip that holds the gas canisters onto the fitting has now failed and the unit is now useless. Basically no matter how much looking I can't buy the $2 part so an otherwise still useful item is now landfill. Not acceptable today. An issue with butane (nothing specific to this device) is that it's liquid temp is about 0 degrees centigrade - this means you use a can for a few minutes and the reduction in temperature of the can reduces the pressure of the butane right down, very soon you are barely generating much more flame than a candle... If you warm the cans up pressure is immediately restored. Once you are below half full you only get a couple of minutes of good pressure and I suspect many part canisters get binned because of this, not very environmentally sound, just cheap I guess.

Rubber disc at base of plunger distorted by folding upwards and coming off plunger Bought repair kit . Kind of works but seems to require a lot of … Read more

difficult pumping for poor spray output. Not impressed. Rubber disc may have been affected by Roundup spray. It should be able to cope with garden chemicals.

Unsatisfactory fitted handle. Needs better material in it – Bought it 14th March 2023, $199 at Bunnings, Goulburn. When not in use I keep it on the house verandah. So far I've found the wheelbarrow is good to… Read more

use and I think the wide wheel is very good. I have only been using it to move firewood and some garden compost. The main problem I've found, just like others have reported, is the fitted grip on one of the handles has split. I imagine the other will go the same way soon. On asking for a replacement at Bunnings, I was told they don't have that part for sale and that the ones on display outside will sometimes have split before they are sold. I'm wondering what one can do to replace the fitted grip as I would think the bare handle isn't the best way to go. I'll try taping it wth duct tape to see how that feels. Bunnings needs to ensure the supplier uses better material in the fitted grips and then the handle grips might do as the label (still on the wheelbarrow) states "LASTS LONGER".

Dead after just over 2 years – A water timer that lets in water and dies just outside of the 2 year warranty. Great...this will be the last time I buy Holman. Premium price for a poor product. Show details

BAD CHINESE MADE – battery is stored in sprayer NOT plugged in....so no amount of charging is going to save this battery from dying whilst stored for sale.....and … Read more

replacement is over $100 plus freight NOT REALLY GOOD ENOUGH BUT HEY ON EXAMINATION.....MADE IN PRC....NOT GERMANY

Titan 125.5 has been rock solid – Very happy with mine. Purchased it form Bunnings originally for cleaning my cars however I have used it to clean concrete, retaining walls and… Read more

driveway. It was a bargain at $149 as it came as a kit will all useful accessories. However, the length of the 6m hose was too short for my needs and the foaming bottle attachment is not great so I purchased a better compatible one. In terms of reliability, I have really put it through some tough work and it has not failed me. However if I could do it again, I would have spent a bit more to get one with a 8 metre hose and a bit more pressure for the driveway work. Look at a 5000 model or above as this comes with 8m hose. Its worth the extra $$ in my opinion as the optional hose extension costs $50 which wont fit on the built in hose reel.

Terrible – Top heavy and keeps falling over on the handle side. Had a similar one from Bunnings in NZ that had a plastic "foot" to stop it from happening -… Read more

looked like this one but with yellow bits on the caps I think - was SOOOOO much better. This one is really useless as you always need to prop it up to stay until you have put stuff in it

Quality stepladder – The Bailey BXS20 MK2 industrial extendable stepladder is rated at 135 kg, so it has a good weight limit. It will convert into multiple different… Read more

configurations stepladder (extendable) closed is 1.39 m and extended is 2.30 m and single ladder (extendable) closed 2.70 m and extended is 4.53 m there is trestle support although you will need a plank to do this. In addition each side of the stepladder configuration is adjustable for height, so you can adapt it to stand safely on stairs so forth. Apparently there is a clip on platform that can be purchased for powertools paint so forth, but it can only be effectively used in the stepladder configuration. Adjusting it is easy, with spring-loaded lock mechanisms which seem very strong and durable. The feet at each end of the ladder are spread apart more, so it feels stable even at full extension.

With the reputation of a German build that AEG have built up over the years the power sprayer is disappointing. The hoses perish and crack and are… Read more

expensive to replace. I ended up going for proper after market hoses that will never crack again after the second set.

The harness ( which is why I bought it in the first place) is a poor design and has been sewn poorly. The webbing tears away from the rigid plastic at the top and had to be repaired.

The poor quality nuts and bolts that have been used to afix the sprayer together have simply rusted and were very difficult to remove while trying to effect repairs. Stainless would have been nice for an implement that is meant to use chemicals, some of which can be corrosive. Finally, I went to use it recently and the pump simply didn't work.

Definitely not worth $440 when my previous hand-powered backpack sprayer lasted 30 years before it.
