Interchangeable Power Tools? |
Clearly these gardening tools are specially designed for purpose as they work better than ordinary tools. So I was delighted. My cultivators are undoubtedly superior, and certainly very effective.
They all belong to a versatile interchangeable tool system that's also highly mobile. And this is all good news for families and community gardeners as well as organic gardening professionals.
Like a root with a branching tree the Multi-Change also known as Multi-Star system is organic in style. Easily portable, it reduces the dangers of long-handle clutter in the garden shed, or an unwieldy wheelbarrow around every turn to your allotment.
You also get the versatility to add different handles. This makes one tool head suitable for different family members. Children's gardening tools are easily made.
And the system extends to domestic tool heads such as brushes and shovels, as well as gutter cleaners and with telescopic handles for fruit pickers and tree loppers.
With small gardening tools I have just one tool handle. But I can attach the smaller tool heads onto my longer handle for easy reach.
Of course buying online gives you access to more gardening tools straight from warehouses. But I always find the interchangeable gardening tool heads described here to be exceptionally effective.
- My special cultivator breaks heavy soil like a plough and it drags weeds up,
- My soil miller (has no parallel among standard tool ranges) makes a fine crumb seed bed easily,
- I change from a soil rake to spring rake in 2 seconds and store them compactly and safe,
-
And only one tool handle needed for all!
- but there's more tools besides...

Why Aren't All Gardening Tools Like This?
Normally gardeners and most garden retailers compromise on their garden tool range because a wide range of garden tools can't be stored or stocked with handles on. But specialised Multi-Change tool heads are sold separately.Of course buying online gives you access to more gardening tools straight from warehouses. But I always find the interchangeable gardening tool heads described here to be exceptionally effective.
Actually they've not been so easy to find in gardening stores. So I've taken the trouble to post some links on this page.
Wolf Garten's
experience goes back to 1922. In 2009 they were acquired by a
United States
competitor - MTD Modern Tool and Die Company - established in Cleveland Ohio in 1932 - now a multi-national in gardening tools.

A 10 year guarantee means these tools have to be sturdy.
What I Know About The Multi-Change System
Multi-Change Joins
The solid join is important to the success of Wolf Multi-Change.

Multi-Change Handles
I use 170cm Wolf (ZM17) long handle for cultivators, rakes, etc... This gives me a comfortable range of 125cm. I think it's a must for the Soil Miller, and Bow Rake for example. (But some manufacturers describe this length as extra-long.)

Handles can be applied to a wide range of Wolf garden tools, from lawn scarifiers and edging tools, to pond nets and cleaners...
Several telescopic handles are made, the longest up to 4 metres, especially suited for Wolf tree loppers, pruners and saws, as well as for apple pickers... Elsewhere on this website I've mentioned Easi-Grip handles - the D shaped Wolf Auxillary handle (XOM) can be similarly attached to main handles for added grip.
Multi-change handles can also be applied to Wolf domestic tools, brooms, yard brushes, shovels, window squeegees, ice scrapers... ... they are truly multi-purpose.

Gardening Tool Heads Make A Difference
These Multi-Change gardening tool heads are much better designed for gardening jobs. And this really matters. I work more quickly and efficiently, and so I save time. They feel less of an effort to use - indeed I seem to put the tools away again in no time at all.

Right: Bow Rake (DOM 35) - 5cm wider than DRM 30 Soil Rake. Curved tines effectively lift earth & gravel, bury seed & remove debris & with a smoother out run.

The bright red and yellow was apparently chosen because it appeals to ladies. And no one can help but notice the gleaming quality of the metal finish. Made of steel with a zinc lacquer finish, they are hard, corrosion resistant and light.
