Frequently Asked Questions

What types of garden hand tools do you stock?

We stock a full range of garden hand tools including secateurs, pruning saws, bow saws, hedge shears, shovels, spades, trowels, hand weeders, cultivators, axes, hatchets, mattocks, leaf rakes, garden hoes, loppers, and tree pruners from trusted brands like Cyclone, Fiskars, Bahco, and Spear & Jackson.

What is the difference between bypass and anvil secateurs?

Bypass secateurs have two curved blades that pass each other like scissors, making clean cuts ideal for live stems and green wood. Anvil secateurs have one straight blade that cuts against a flat anvil, which is better suited for dry or dead wood but can crush soft stems.

What shovel or spade should I use for my garden?

A round mouth shovel is best for digging and moving loose soil or mulch. A square mouth spade is better for edging garden beds, cutting through turf, and transplanting. For heavy clay soils, look for a forged steel head with a long hardwood or fibreglass handle for added strength.

Do you stock long-reach pruning tools for tall trees?

Yes. We stock long-reach tree pruners and loppers designed for cutting overhead branches without the need for a ladder. These are ideal for fruit trees, ornamental trees, and tall hedges.

Are your garden tools suitable for Australian conditions?

Yes. All garden hand tools we stock are selected for durability in Australian soil conditions, including heavy clay, sandy soils, and rocky ground. We carry tools from brands with proven performance in Australian gardens and landscaping environments.

Goldair 1200W radiant heater

This is an excellent heater. It’s practical, lightweight, easy to use and gives instant warmth as well as being affordable. The level of heat can be adjusted to one, two or all three bars. I highly recommended it. Fan from Double Bay Hardware was incredibly helpful and accomodating. Wonderful customer service. Cheers, Evelin.

Have only used 1, the other is spare as it is difficult to find these globes & the other one will probably blow any day now as they are connected to the same switch. Works as expected.

I ordered two small light bulbs on line as nobody seemed to stock the ones I needed..
They arrived in a day!
It is so gratifying to find a hardware store that genuinely cares about its customers.
I am also glad to see so many positive reviews.
I live in Crows Nest but I will now make a trip to Double Bay just to check these guys out.
I noticed a review by a customer saying that the prices are too high and to go to Rose Bay Bunnings.
O.K. go to Bunnings and try and get some really knowledgeable advice.
Chances are YOU WON'T!
I would rather deal with genuine people in this world who KNOW what they are talking about and that goes for ALL businesses..
