Darlac introduces new tools for 2021

Darlac, the cutting tools expert, has introduced several new products for the 2021 season aiming to build on its already successful ranges.

 


The new Expert Titanium Bypass Pruner is going to appeal to the very keen hobby gardener and landscaper. The SK5 carbon steel blade is titanium coated for extra strength and smoother, precise cutting. This hard-wearing product features all the usual Darlac Expert Range benefits – slim profile anodised handles, shock absorbers for reduced impact, an inbuilt wire cutting notch, ease of use and a two-position opening mechanism. Although a premium manufactured item the suggested retail price (srp) is £29.99 and it is available for wall display or within a counter display, containing 6 pairs, for impulse sales.

 

The Telescopic Double-Sided Rake will also be of interest to hobby gardeners due to its great versatility. It is described as a “brilliantly flexible, strong, rake for the busy gardener”. Two complementary rake heads are housed on the same lightweight shaft. The deep, long tines are perfect for heavy duty jobs of loosening and levelling soil, collecting weeds and trimmings and then flip the handle and the shorter tines are great for creating a fine tilth for seed sowing and even scratching moss out of lawns. The long handle makes life easy and keeps backache at bay and with a srp of £24.99 it will make another impulse buy.

 

A new lightweight edging shear comes into the range – the company freely admit this has been a glaring omission. Tough aluminium handles, with soft TPR grips, at 930mm are comfortable for most people and the carbon steel blades are PTFE coated for smooth cutting. At £29.99 srp, these shears complement the top selling telescopic handled version.

 

The bamboo range sees a new addition. The Hand Rake is introduced after consumer requests, the 6 strong tines are the prefect size for clearing leaves and other debris from between plants and it is a great addition to the hand tool range at a srp of £11.99. This unique bamboo range looks good and is perfect for eco sales – bamboo is tough, renewable and does not need FSC accreditation.

 

Tim Jeffries, Darlac Managing Director said: “We were looking forward to showing these products off at GLEE but sadly it wasn’t to be. We are convinced they will add something a little extra to our range and underline our reputation for introducing quality, innovative new items.”

Details are obtained from Darlac sales agents or direct from the company – info@darlac.com or 01753 547790.
