Bronze / Copper Tools
High quality raw materials and traditional craftsmanship ensure that PKS garden tools are made to last.
The use of bronze tools benefits soil by feeding beneficial microscopic life and adding conductivity to the soils own life building energies. It was for this reason that PKS began hand-crafting garden tools built of bronze, free of lead and iron. Highly developed past civilizations, such as Imperial China were known for their use of copper implements and consistently renounced the use of iron when working with soil.

Bronze tools:
- Are a pleasure to own and use
- Make fantastic gifts- both for the new and the passionate gardener
- Stay free of rust and corrosion – but age with a graceful bronze patina, perfect for the coastal gardener
- Reduce soil pathogens and the incidence of slugs and snails
- Have very long working life -low metal fatigue compared to steel
- Increase cropping -up to 40% evidenced by research
- Penetrate the soil easily -low coefficient of friction- less tendency for clay to cling to the tool
- Can be kept sharp with a whetstone, file or by peening (hammering the edge against a steel anvil)
- Bronze is not magnetic - so does not disrupt the electrical fields in the soil
- Minute amounts of copper create the conditions for beneficial micro-organisms
