Fiskars

Hand tools, published in millimetres

Fiskars reaches three hand-tool shelves here: the lawn shears, the rakes and the weeders.

Two things distinguish these listings from their neighbours.

The first is that they carry dimensions. A length in centimetres, a mass, a material for the blade and a material for the handle. On the rake and weeder shelves that is unusual — most entries there are described by what they are for rather than by what they are.

The second is the head-and-shaft system. Several of these are heads that fit a separately sold handle, which is a real consideration on a marketplace listing: a head bought without its shaft is a tool that does not work, and the listing title does not always make the distinction obvious. This site says which is which.

The weed puller is the entry most worth reading on its own page. It is a long-handled tool for taproots rather than a joint scraper, and the two occupy the same shelf under the same German word.
