Applications

Replacement handles are invaluable for:

Choosing The Right Replacement Handles

When selecting replacement handles, consider these key factors:

• Compatibility: Ensure the handle matches your existing tool head system – Wolf Garten Multi-Change and Gardena COMBISYSTEM use specific connection mechanisms
• Handle length: Mini handles (typically 300-400mm) suit confined spaces, standard handles (1200-1500mm) work for general tasks, while telescopic options extend up to 4 metres for high-reach applications
• Material choice: Wooden handles provide traditional comfort and shock absorption; aluminium handles offer lightweight durability; FSC-certified wood ensures sustainable sourcing
• Working height: Telescopic handles eliminate bending and stretching, reducing physical strain during prolonged use
• Weight considerations: Aluminium handles significantly reduce fatigue when working overhead or for extended periods
• Grip comfort: Look for ergonomic designs with comfortable hand grips, particularly important for professional daily use

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Wolf Garten and Gardena handles interchangeable?

No, Wolf Garten Multi-Change and Gardena COMBISYSTEM use different connection mechanisms and are not compatible with each other. Always match replacement handles to your existing tool head brand.

How do I maintain wooden handles?

Wooden handles benefit from occasional treatment with linseed oil to prevent drying and splitting. Store in dry conditions and check regularly for splinters or cracks that may compromise safety.

What length telescopic handle should I choose?

Standard telescopic handles extend to approximately 2.5-3 metres, suitable for most domestic applications. Long telescopic handles reaching 4 metres are ideal for professional use, tall hedges, or gutter cleaning without ladders.
