Care & maintenance

We’re constantly finding new ways to become more sustainable, so we only select products that are built to last. We recommend looking after your bronze tool correctly so it lasts a life time.

  • Avoid prolonged direct exposure to sunlight and always keep the wooden handle dry.
  • Avoid contact with chemicals containing acetic acid, this will cause the formation of verdigris.
  • It is good practice to oil the handles from time to time. You can use teak oil, linseed oil, Danish oil, Tung oil, whichever you prefer.
  • Don't wash the handles, as the water will cause the wood to shrink as it dries.
  • Don't overwinter in heated rooms, the handles dry out too much and can become loose.

Tools that last a lifetime

Premium hand tools with added benefits

Copper garden hand tools offer excellent performance and natural benefits. Durable and corrosion-resistant, they’re ideal for digging, weeding, and cultivating soil with precision. Copper won’t rust like traditional steel, making it long-lasting and low maintenance. An added advantage is its natural slug-deterrent quality, slugs and snails avoid contact with copper, helping protect surrounding plants as you work.
