Top one on here, or buy just the head and make your own handle.

Just bought one of those that Bogs recommends. It is excellent, far better than my old rotating prong thingy. That has gone into the 'recycle bin'.
From probably the smallest, dampest and most untidy workshop in Bradford, West Yorks, England, if not the world..

BTW, the making of your own handle was suggested by John Stevenson.

If I had thought of that, I would have bought just the head.

But as stated by Andy, they work very well indeed.
