Macee Miller Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Hi all! Well, this is my first post and I'm hoping one of you may know a little about this tool I have come across in my Grandfathers shed. I have never seen anything like it and a Google search also came up blank. It is about 3 feet long and the end piece is roughly 8-10 inches in length. Apart from that I know nothing more so do not know where to search. Many thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poisonfangs85 Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 It appears to be a Sickle/sythe for trimming grass or weeds.And welcome to the Forum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khariV Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 My grandfather had one of those too. My brother and I were never allowed to play with it so of course we did. Let's just say that, while we managed to avoid whacking each other, my grandmother's flowerbed wasn't quite as lucky and "I have no idea what happened to the petunias ... honest!" didn't get us off the hook.

NERemodeling Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Welcome!Poisonfangs nailed it.. Google "sling blade weed cutter" and you should be able to track it down.. What other cool old tools did you inherit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
