Metallo Tools is one of the most popular suppliers of various gardening hand tools like loppers, pruners, knives and other green house equipments. There was a large outbreak of diseases caused by cross contamination and this was a matter of great concern among the green house owners. They were desperately searching for ways to control the cross contamination caused during pruning and harvesting in the green houses. The mass growing of plants in the green house added to the problem.
Metallo Tools held discussions with many of the green house owners in Netherlands. It constituted a team of engineers, specialists and customers in the year 2008 to study this problem in a detailed manner. They collected and analyzed the tools that were supplied by other companies. It was found that these were too expensive and were very short in supply as they are handmade with limited supply. To make the tools available easily Metallo Tools came out with its first Germo knife in 2008. This looked very similar to the one that is currently available but differed in the way it controlled the flow of liquid while using on the plants.
After field tests it was found that the Germo knife needed some more improvements. Then in the year 2010 the present model of Germo knife was introduced with all these improvements in their range of greenhouse tools. In this plugs were used to control the flow of liquids during its use on the plants. The Germo scissors, the loppers and pruners that were introduced later in the market also came with the same technology.
In the present days the Germo scissors are used mostly for harvesting cucumbers and this has been designed in such a way that there is no chance for growth of bacteria in the cut wounds as a liquid is used on the wounds to heal them instantly. Skimmed milk is the liquid that is used for this in Netherlands and the Germo Scissors come with different plugs with openings from 0.5mm to 1.5mm to control the flow of liquid on both the sides of the blade. These are also used for cutting tomatoes in the green houses. Though these function similar to the Germo knife it uses a sprayer to spray each cut area with a healing liquid to heal the cut surfaces.
Though different types of liquids are used most of them use disinfectant liquids for this purpose. The Germo knife is provided with a waist belt for attaching the reservoir for the liquid and a strong hose connects them. Many of the Germo knives are in use in Canadian green houses and in case of need arrangements can be made to discuss with the Green house owners in Canada. The leaf cutter is yet another of the green house tools supplied by Metallo Tools and this is used for removing the unwanted leaves in the tomato wires. This supplies more energy and light to the fruits for their proper growth. By using this leaf cutter it is possible to cut even the leaves on the lower part of the plant without damaging the stems. As this comes with very sharp blades it is possible to have a neat and easy cut. This is able to prevent diseases in the plants that are grown in the green houses.
