Wagtail handle easier to hold in hand.

This will show you how to make your Wagtail handle much easier to hold by just doing this,
You could also do this to any squeegee / scrubber plastic handle as well. So to have better / lighter grip on the handle.

Yes - Belonged to my Father who died in 2017 so had to get her ready for sale in 2018.

One of only 66 Fowler BB1 Ploughing Engines left in the world. Quite a challenge for a windy but managed it with a few days off work here and there  ;) Didn't use a rasp though  ;D

For info - road tax for that beast in 1994 was £16
