I see they think the, Fold-down handles, are a good selling point. :wink:
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

Well, err, actually they are.

You'd never get my Howard 350 in the back of a Ford Fiesta.

For people who have to travel any distance to their allotment and don't want the light-fingered brigade to liberate their most expensive tool from the allotment shed fold-down handles on a diddy rotovator are a good thing. :D
Do not put off thanking people when they have helped you, as they may not be there to thank later.

Ahh, I see, so un-used to you being sarcastic I missed it. :shock:
Perhaps they put it twice because each Mantis has two handles. :wink:
