About
fredshed
Hi,
I'm Fred and this is my shed. I consider myself to be a connoisseur
of fine tools and equipment. My dad (big Fred) was an old style
workman and I grew up surrounded by the tools of his trade.
Anyone
who depends on their tools for a living knows the value of good
design and lasting quality. For many years I worked as an
equipment advisor to the National Health Service, helping
elderly and disabled people. Following on from 2 books on tools
and equipment I now compile the tools database for the award winning
website www.carryongardening.org.uk.
I
have been called on to advise many organisations on the best tools
for gardening, such as Which Magazine", the Royal Horticultural
Society and the BBC.
My
aim is to find, and develop the best tools to enable anyone
to work to the best of their ability. This means carefully chosen,
top quality tools, that last a lifetime and that can be serviced
and repaired.
fredshed
has limited space and only features the best, unlike many retailers
who will peddle you tools that look good in the shop but fall apart
on the job. I test tools to destruction so you don't have to. Only
the best survive the fredshed
test and are featured and recommended. Although I only sell a few
small tools
directly I know most garden tool manufacturers personally and many
dealers of machinery. If I have the time I can often
find you the best supplier and the best price and am happy to
recommend tools I don't sell - if they are the best for your purpose .
Wherever
you choose to buy your tools, it is my pleasure to offer you my
experience and impartial advice.
