Essential for gardenersby Alison

5 stars out of 5

The Thingamadig

I have come back to purchase another thingamadig because my husband inadvertently ruined mine trying to use it as a trowel for spreading concrete - possibly the only use that could do this wonderful piece of kit in. I cannot garden without it! I have cut through roots, prised (rather large!) rocks out of the soil, it makes weeding in my "London clay" soil an absolute pleasure. It is absolutely an essential tool for gardeners, you will not regret buying this!

Fabulous invention !!by Mona

The Thingamadig

Was lucky to pick up one a few years ago in the Sale and couldn't believe how useful it is. I've tried twice since then to get some for my friends but they have been sold out so - order now or they will be gone!! I only have pots on a patio but I wonder how I ever managed without this.

Wow, brilliant, love my thingamadig and when they are available again (hope they come back) I'll be sure to order for fellow gardeners in the family. Great idea, so easy to use and not too heavy.

Such a simple looking piece of kit yet so useful! Great for digging holes for planting,scooping compost,gravel etc from bags,filling pots,cutting roots,dividing,the list is endless..Can't imagine what I did without it. Very comfortable to use. It is a definate must for any gardeners toolkit! I shall be buying more for gardening friends and relatives. First class product.

Ingenious piece of kit!by Chris Crosby

5 stars out of 5

The Thingamadig

I'm a professional gardener, and was bought this as a gift by my mother recently. It's already the best hand-tool in my armoury! It's great for weeding in those awkward places, such as at the base of your roses and similar - you can use it like a mini-hoe. And it loves being used to dig out planting holes! Cutting through the (not TOO thick) roots of unwanted plants is a doddle, as is dividing plants for transplanting. Brilliant - get one. And throw out your traditional trowels!

Brilliant-buy oneby helen

5 stars out of 5

The Thingamadig

I wasnt sure how good this would be but I am delighted I bought. It is so useful in many jobs around the garden. I had been struggling to get the root ball of a euphorbia out of my very clay soil but this did the job in cutting through the roots. I intend to buy one for all my gardener friends for Christmas.

It even impressed my Dadby Michael

The Thingamadig

I gave this to my Father in law and he loves it - he uses it all round the garden and even takes it camping as he is always finding uses for it. So impressed I gave one to my Dad (who does not like a gizzmo) and thinks it is the best pressie I ever gave him. Bit stuck for ideas for next Fathers Day !!

First class itemby julie kahn

5 stars out of 5

The Thingamadig

I have so very many gardening tools I lost count years ago. This was so inexpensive I added it on to an order last year out of curiousity really, I certainly didn't need it. Well, you know what I'm going to say now... Since it arrived I've used it non-stop. It feels perfect in my (rather small) hand, the pointed end is great for digging out weeds, in fact I use it for almost every garden duty.
