   I know you can get it over there.  I did.


Great, Now all I need is to source the magnets,

The whole thing feels extremely Robust, I thought that the head was Light at about 1lb 14oz or around that in Old Money but with the Heavy Duty handle it feels really heavy duty, the Handle is 25" in length so its not too big but it is enough to give you that little bit extra when you need it.

there is another alternative which can be screwed to the handle.
take a neodymium magnetic hook, unscrew the hook and attach to your shaft. you could then use a strong epoxy or jb weld to help secure it.
here is a link to something I'm thinking of.

Good Coz I called the Glue people today and they said it will hold the handle in place and I just have to do the same with the magnet, they do about 5 or 6 types of glue and they said that I use the right on and it is set in 2 hours and cured in 24, but I have let it sit for 96 hours so far so I might give it a workout this weekend,

I could not get one in the UK and when I took it to the Hardware stores no one knew what it was, I would Like to make a bigger one with about a 14" Blade but for 90% of the time this one is perfect.
