    Capney I have one of these and the spongy handle cover is very comfortable, but I do find mine slips down the handle all the time and it needs to be pulled back up after each use.

    I've got one of those Capney. It's a long handled one in metal and I think it cost £1. Bargain !
    I grow in deep beds and it's just perfect for raking up between the rows to get rid of weed seedlings. I love it.
