Considering Gaius is in the UK, I do not think he wants to order from American sources.

:lol: :lol: Yes you would be spot on Paulus!.
No offense to those who have offered all these options in the US, but it would seem a little inpracticle for a simple shaft. I'm sure when I have checked out Brennivs links the problem should be solved.

Thanks guys appreciate the efforts! Smile

Quote:don't they really have plain wood rake handles, curtain poles, etc. in your do-it-yourself stores? can't believe that :o ) ?

Yeas it blows my mind, but it is true, as I was saying. They prefer the one handle-one head philosophy, so they can charge you £10 or more, when all you want is a handle.
