I got some from Lidl a few years ago & they're still going strong so I bought another pair so I can have a pair at the plot & at home. They have extending handles as well,were about £5/6 I think.

I've always liked the Sandvik range. I understand they are called something else now though.... ::)

I got some from Wilko's at the end of last season for about £1!  They also turn up at boot sales often for a couple of quid.

Their seasonal clearance is pretty good, I also got a bundle of shears for 20p each!
