Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the benefit of the longer handles? A: The extra length provides more leverage, which is essential for controlling the tool when extended far over the rest into a deep bowl.
Q: Are these tools suitable for green wood? A: Yes, the HSS blades are ideal for green wood as they resist the corrosive sap and maintain their edge during heavy wet-wood removal.
