Today's Toolkit UK
- Galvanised wheelbarrow with puncture proof wheel. It's best to buy one of these from your local DIY store, or builders centre, rather than on-line. Try and get one with a puncture proof wheel, or if not available, retro-fit one as it will save you so much hassle in the long run.
