The 10lb one from Wickes was =A319.99 I think. THe 12lb - with the fibregl=
ass handle - was over =A330. Expensive, but I was wanting to move up in 
wi=
eght and it was all I could find. This was in a very big B&Q. I was 
wantin=
g to try a builders merchant, but they are all shut a t weekends when I am

off work.

B& Q asked if I was going to be driving in fence poles. I said yes....but 
=
didn't mention the butter churning......and definitely didn't mention some

of the scenarios!

Now that's rather bizarre. Before speaking to my bricklayer friend, I
visited my local B&Q looking for sledgehammers & how much they 
would
cost. None there. After asking, they told me to try a Builder's
Merchant (?!!) - which implies they didn't know that the chain would
stock them.

Maybe I'll try the nearest 'Giant' B&Q...and Wickes, of course.

Incidentally, how much did you pay? I may not buy one straight away,
since the 7 pounder is quite enough at the moment!
