2019 Garden Light range

Fiskars has extended its Garden Light range for 2019, bringing more accessibility for gardeners of all ages and strengths with its lightweight yet durable tools, as well as new targeting opportunities for retailers.

All new items in the Light collection are made of lightweight, FiberComp™ and anti-corrosion material, to help make gardening tasks easier and more enjoyable. The tools being added to the existing range for the new season include nursery tools, cutting tools, cultivators, leaf rakes, a weed puller, patio broom, forks, spades and a tree pruner.

This range of lightweight tools opens up more opportunities for retailers to attract new groups, as Fiskars has taken into consideration the ages, stamina and strength levels of broad range of gardeners to create a comprehensive collection.

Xact™ range extension

Popular amongst both novice and expert gardeners, Fiskars is building on the success of its Xact™ range by announcing an extension of products for 2019. This helps retailers to focus on an increased offering in the premium sector and significant new turnover opportunities.

Joining the existing collection of digging spades, forks, a shovel, compost fork and the infamous weed puller, new additions to the Xact™ range include leaf rakes, soil rakes, cultivators and nursery tools, each expertly crafted using advanced technical manufacturing and materials.

The extension on the Xact™ range has been specifically designed to make jobs quicker to tackle and easier, as well as also reducing any chance of ailments associated with heavy duty tasks such as digging, raking and weeding.

For example, the composite and steel construction makes them lightweight while perfect ergonomics reduce muscle strain and improve efficiency. Different sized options offered as part of the new range ensure there is something for everyone, no matter their height. Users can also select their best fit for ultimate control and precision.

Hardware and hammer range

Following extensive research, the hardware and hammer range from Fiskars has been designed and developed with professional tradespeople in mind, whilst additionally providing retailers with the potential to increase sales.

The new range consists of hammers, club hammers, axes, scissors and knives - all of varying sizes and designs - in addition to a clay pick and garden saw. With a variety of features designed to help the users as much as possible, the collection offers less shock, greater durability and maximum striking control.

These features include a highly-durable shaft, which offers lasting strength so gardeners can work stronger for longer, an ergonomically contoured grip to give the illusion the hammer is an extension of users’ own hand to make it as comfortable as possible, and a vibration-reduction system, which will absorb impact by up to 70% to offer extra protection to hands, arms and wrists.
