Green is now the colour for Wilkinson Sword carbon steel tools

Wilkinson Sword has unveiled a new look for its carbon steel collection, previously available in black but now in green.

The products feature the same quality carbon steel head as before, plus a hard-wearing green epoxy resin coating for added durability and riveted in place with long sockets. All feature the soft grip natural wooden handles that makes the range so popular.

The collection consists of five hand tools and 10 long handled tools, led by the digging spade and fork, which have extra-long sockets and double rivets. The two spades have tread plates.

The company says the latest evolution of the carbon steel range the aesthetically pleasing, traditional look with modern manufacturing techniques and durability that users seek.

Nick Hills, Garden Division General Manager, said: “We decided to rejuvenate the range following customer feedback where we learnt that gardeners want something where the aesthetics match the performance capabilities. It’s not style over substance - with the new range the design is just as good as the functionality.”

The new green look spans all materials, with redesigned hang tags, packaging and promotion collateral to appeal to customers at the decision buying point.

The tools come with a 10-year guarantee.
