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
