Gardena is pretty meh and way overpriced IMO
I go with Wolf-Garten, excellent stuff for a good price.

I have multiple gardena and their lifespan is roughly a year or two,it's not made to be kept outside. The plastics junctions begin to fail quite fast.
Just bought a couple from Aldis own brand for £3, they seem nicely made and way better than the karcher it replaced
Not a fan of gardena, too much plastic that breaks easily.
Geka is German and sells a system that relies on brass instead: https://www.geka.de/home-garden/
Idealspaten (German) builds spades, forks etc. that are really heavy quality and which tolerant all kind of abuse. I own a Kraftspaten Plus and you can use it as a lever to move heavy bolders or dig through rock hard soil.
There are also adapters available: https://etel-tuning.eu/produkt/adapter-drehstrom-auf-schlauchanschluss/
That is a great category idea! Working on it!
Great!
just dont buy their garden shears, they fucking suck!
For garden shears Felco from Switzerland is great
agreed, mine have been great, but when I was buying a few years ago there were lots of fakes on the market.
