For the first time in Nelson, we'll be at the upcoming with the amazing Lucano Step Stools. We'll have all colours and all sizes to show you and plenty of suggestions for how to use one of these stools to get the most out of their incredible features and design. We'll be outside just before you head into the Stadium (close to the food court), and if you are heading along, flick us a message and we can send you a 2 for 1 entry voucher.

Someone once said, "There is a lot of evidence that points to the fact that Bigfoot exists, but until it's fully proven, it’s just a mystery." Well, we can categorically confirm that the Bigboy exists. And if you have a Bigboy and don't have anything to carry it in, there's also a Bigboy Case available. Take a look on and see if you can spot it...

If you haven't got the most important bloke in your life a little something yet, jump onto and get him something worthwhile for Father's Day. Cheers, Dad...

What's the difference between all 4 models of the Lowe Natural range of secateurs? In a quick description,

No6 Fast Cut - the straight blade quickly and reliably hits the exact cutting point, making it ideal for jobs requiring a high number of cuts each day.

No7 Easy Cut - the shorter slim curve blade positions the branch close to the pivot, making it ideal for effortlessly cutting bushes and trees.

No8 Power Cut - the curve blade keeps the branches close to the pivot for maximum power and easy cutting, making it ideal for harder wood.

No9 Clean Cut - designed for clean and precise cuts, the No9 is ideal for vineyards and nurseries, making it ideal for users who value precision.

Not just a thing of beauty - but super useful too! The Lucano step stools allow you to reach all the important stuff, like books.....and high cupboards containing things we need to keep out of reach of the kids.....like wine glasses, hidden sweets and gin bottles........

Did you know have 4 different types of Okatsune Snips. Each designed for their own use, but each with the same sharpness, durability, and quality craftsmanship. Okatsune snips give clean, precise cuts without crushing stems or mangling soft growth and their lightweight design makes them comfortable to use for longer periods. The high-quality Japanese steel holds an edge exceptionally well and they are considered one of the best options for gardeners, florists, veggie gardens, greenhouse work, and general garden maintenance. If you haven't experienced an Okatsune snip, you really should. And if you have, you need to let everyone else know about them...

Coming soon to - a very limited amount of the all-new Silky Takibi, a pocket size campfire.

In Japanese, Takibi means "“open-air fire,” commonly referring to a bonfire or outdoor fire used for warmth, cooking, or burning garden refuse. And Silky have said this about their new little friend...

"Don’t call us 'rejects.' At Silky, our quality standards are borderline obsessive. A fraction of a millimeter of warping, a single microscopic scratch—and our journey to becoming a saw is instantly cut short. Normally, we’d be tossed straight into the furnace to melt into nothingness. But someone spoke up: 'There’s no way in hell we’re letting this high-carbon steel die like that.' So, we evolved. From blades that cut, into a shield that holds the fire: pocket takibi—the ultra-compact campfire gear.

• Scratches are Badges of Honor: Scuffs and raw surface textures aren't defects—they’re proof we survived the brutal selection process. Season them dark and rugged in your own campfires.
• Strictly Limited Run: We only exist because of the steel that didn't make the cut. No factory line, no mass production. Just pure, accidental exclusivity.

We refused the scrap heap. Now, let us burn bright in your pocket."

Keep an eye out for these when they arrive in NZ. They'll go quick!

We had a great time at the "Big Night In" last week. The crowds grew and the prize draws were eagerly awaited. We had a few Silky Outback Bigboy Saws and Lowe Hunting Shears up for grabs, and the young customer who took a prize away was stoked, especially after she'd already come by the stand and asked about the wood and bone cutting tools. Awesome night, thanks for asking us to be part of it ...
