I was doing a tool & materials audit today at work, now we have had these things for years, no one knows what they are called or what they are for "but they are good for opening cans of paint :blush: ''. They look like something Gipsy would use in his work, they all have a beveled edge apart from the spoon shaped one, I would say they are a matching set and as our work predecessors used them they should have somthing to do with horticulture :blush: :blush: :blush: :h WHAT ARE THEY :dunno:

Higerunt load of sods.... !

They are tools used by body ( as in car ! ) repair people.
A very good set as well by the looks of it.

They are actually not all for that. The brown thing on the left of picture one is generally used for walking and kicking

Different plants/flowers,need to be planted at different depths/angles hence the different angles on the scoops the bowl shaped one is used for taking soil samples to test the ph levels etc......

the word your looking for John is "Dolly's" that particular type was made for when panels were not removable and "leaded" repairs were the norm, they helped reach the "deep" recesses on some of the older types, and as lead was so much softer to work on they didn't have to be of such a solid construction as todays "Dolly's" :bow:
"dollys" in this case isnt a reference to sheep, :rolleyes:
