Grubber handles

Ron from Fairhall - Renwick - Woodbourne

SharpAs Tool Tips

Another great tool from yesteryear! While the good steel in a grubber will last indefinitely with a bit of care, the handles eventually give out. With a new handle fitted and the steel refurbished, this one is ready for many more years of use.

Another great tool from yesteryear! While the good steel in a grubber will last indefinitely with a bit of care, the handles eventually give out. With a new handle fitted and the steel refurbished, this one is ready for many more years of use.

🔹 Redwood Market – Saturday mornings
🔹 Marlborough Farmers’ Market – Sunday mornings
Or contact me directly on 027 444 5535.

I'm doing some research to see if it's viable to do privately/commercially, and I've put together a blog post and short survey on my website here: www.marlboroughonline.co.nz...

If you have pets or friends who do, please share the link and complete the survey if you have time so that I can get an idea of interest.
Please share on other social media too.
(I'm not on Facebook because it tends to be too antisocial, and has too much AI generated junk but I know many people still use it.)
