The first time we lost ours, I spent ages aerating the lawn with the garden fork, making holes at about 45 degrees. I'd said to my wife it'll be easy to find, since I knew the approximate location. Ha!! 🤐
The cap for our socket is black, which isn't terribly helpful - and there's no way of attaching it to the socket. Yesterday morning I found it had been Moved. I suspect the resident magpies were investigating... it'll probably end up in next year's nest...
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
My new B&D sooper dooper workmate is coming on Friday. I CAN'T WAIT!!! I received a Bosch PWB 600 for my birthday and used it for the first time last week. It fell over under the weight of a wooden door and it's little feeble aluminium legs bent, creased and cracked. Over £100 good for nothing. Rang Bosch about replacement parts and Bosch said no so I sent them an exploded diagram for a B&D workmate.

We have a plastic cap that came as the central part of our patio table. "It'll fit the hole nicely, and prevent water getting in" I said. BUT IT'S GREEN!!

That would probably be about as useful as garden hand tools with a flower pattern on them
Better to have flowery handles, however aesthetically suspect than wooden or green handled camouflage tools that get lost until you buy a replacement. I reckon it's an evil marketing ploy by garden tool manufacturers to sell more tools. Bright orange glow in the dark tools have to be more eco friendly than buy once, - buy often tools with natural wooden handles. Actually, wooden handles with dayglow paint would suit everyone apart from the manufacturers
Good idea. The only way I'm going to find my favourite weeder is the buy another one. I've looked in all of the obvious places so it's somewhere stupid.
