I'm 6'10 (210cm) and own a edible landscaping business in Vancouver, Canada. As such I am constantly looking for ways to save my back and bend down as little as possible :p
I love a good rake and my wide hoe for multi uses but wondering if there's anything else out there that people recommend?
Or someone that sells/makes extra long tool handles? The Fokin hoe looks like a solid tool as well that might fit nicely in my back saving arsenal...

cheers,
Levon

And I thought handles were too short for me at 6' 1" !

You probably already know that the pro line of tools usually have longer handles as the consumer lines.

I have re-handled tools with 1" emt metal conduit. It is heavy but that is a plus in certain situations. I have also used wood closet rod for light duty tools.
