Featured in the best-seller ‘Blokes in Sheds’, for his exporting efforts with replica race-cars, David is a skilled engineer. Applying his engineering and farming experience to delivering the Handypiece, David developed a new portable crutching and shearing tool from the ground up, designed to meet the needs of both his and his father’s farming day. It wasn't long before it found favour with many other farmers around New Zealand and then Australia, becoming famous for its slim-line design, durability, and ease of use.
