The curvature of the style makes me comfortable and back-friendly work in the garden. The previously used straight style I had to always keep low so that cultivated garden tool had the optimal working angle to the ground. The curvature I can work upright. The course stressed the back is not as strong and it also does not come as quickly work up a sweat. The latter actually is healthy, but not necessarily within 15 minutes gardening must use. The workmanship is very good, the handle through the coating really handy for my feelings :-)
