Long Reach Technique
Using the 'long reach' with this super long, lightweight tool will help you to work in comfort and more effectively. Standing side on to the plot just follow this simple handling tip: the rear hand grips the end of the tool handle with thumb aligned along the shaft at about waist height and work backwards and forwards. The leading hand grips the tool part way along the shaft and presses down.
Remember the other golden rules;
- Keep back straight - don't stoop
- Push/pull with the arms, never the back
- Slightly bend and flex the knees
