A hand trowel moves soil and small plants, a hand weeder gets close to weeds, and a cultivator or hand rake loosens and levels the surface. Narrow tool heads fit between closely spaced plants, while wider models move more soil at a time. When pruning, the blade and cutting capacity must suit the branch, as lightweight pruning shears and loppers are designed for different tasks.
Short or long handle?
A short handle provides precision close to the plant, while a long handle gives you greater reach and can reduce the need to bend over. Also consider the weight, grip, and room for gloves. For tasks that are repeated many times, a tool you can control without straining your hand or wrist is more valuable than a long list of features.
How can you make your garden tools last longer?
Stainless steel, carbon steel, and different handle materials require different care. Remove soil and plant sap after use, dry the metal, and follow the instructions for oiling and sharpening. Store tools, harvesting baskets, and belts in a dry place, and check joints and blades before each new season. Warranties may have specific terms and do not necessarily cover normal wear and tear or improper use.
