Garden Hand Tools
Good hand tools do the quiet work of gardening: turning beds, weeding, planting and pruning. We compare trowels, forks, hoes, pruners and full sets on steel quality, handle comfort and how well they hold an edge, focusing on tools that stay sharp and comfortable through a full season rather than the ones that bend or blister.
