Garden tool sharpening
As tree pruning gets underway I am getting worn out loppers brought in for sharpening and to be honest many are not worth repairing, they are worn out. Many of the owners of these tools are women and I advise them to consider small fold away saws from Silky (a Japanese Company) from $55 a small purpose built saw can make there lives much easier, safer and less likely to damage other limbs of the tree being pruned. I'm happy to say the comments are always positive with "I wished I'd known that earlier".
As an authorised stockist of Silky I am happy to show how easy it is to prune tress safely and most importantly, in a way that reduces strains and sprains.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
