Hello chili, I don't use them myself, I went down the Gardena route, but there are several people on this website who think they are very good. I did sell them years ago, when I worked in a garden centre for a few years, and I have to say, they were very popular, even then, so to remain on sale for all those years, they must be good. :)
I've had a quick look on the back pages of the Equipment shed, and I KNOW that wolf tools have been talked about before, but I can't find the threads at the moment. I'll try to have another look for you later. :)

There are a couple of threads about wolf tools
My dad swears by them infact he probably has a different tool for every week of the year. funny seen as he isnt a gardener ::)

I would be interested in more feedback on these. My previous experience of tools that attach and detach is that I break them. Granted I didnt spend a lot, that was one of the attractions of a combination tool. However I find now that I NEED a push/pull hoe, I am assured of this! I can only find wolf doing one and it will cost a fortune, but I need one. If it breaks I will really feel stupid. So feedbackfrom wolf users really welcome.

I've got the push/pull hoe attachment for my Wolf handle (as well as the trowel, the fork the leaf rake and one or two others). I started 'collecting' about three years ago and the push/pull was one of the first I got.
So far NONE of them have let me down.
I can't vouch for the frequency and aggressiveness of the user - I use mine about once a week, in a relatively small front and back garden set up with mostly good, workable soil.
They are very well made but I geuss at some point you need to bite the bullet.
Best of luck with it.

Got 'em, use 'em, love 'em! Wolf are the only tool company to make a handle long enough for me, at 6 ft 5in, to be able to hoe without getting backache as I can stand fulyl upright and still get the correct angle of contact between the hoe blade and the ground.
I've also got the lopper on the telescopic pole, the multi-change scraper (good for weeding between paving slab joints) and the weed knife.
As someone else said, there's a tool for all seasons and I have to restrain myself when I go to a garden centre stocking their products :D

ive had my wolf tools for years and gradually ive got most of the ones that they do from the seed sower to the smallest weeder about 2 in wide i have two sizes of the push pull weeder but now i find the big one too much as i am older now but very good gear very much cheeper in england than over here but i thought it well worth the money i have spent on them very useful for peeps who cant bend very much as they also do a hand fork and trowel with a D handle never had any break on me.
