"Bulldog Tools have been made at Clarington Forge, Wigan for 230 years. The factory has the only full time working forge still making spades and forks within the UK, producing over 2000 garden and contractors tools every day.
Bulldog Tools currently employs over 65 people, most of whom are multi-skilled. It is quite common for several generations of the same family to have worked for the company with some employees tracing their family ties back four generations.
Farmers, contractors and professional landscapers stand as a testament to the quality of product upon which their livelihood depends. The skill and craftsmanship that was the key to the company’s success in years gone by, are still maintained and the same forging process is used to this day.
Bulldog Tools uses a unique specification steel which results in exceptionally strong tool heads with the flexibility to absorb all the shock and pressure of hard work, without distorting or breaking. The timber for the handles is all purchased from sustainable sources."
