	TROWEL: This tough trowel is great for diggin' good-sized holes. It's made of powder-coated steel, so it's a cinch to clean.
	PRUNER: Long considered the best bypass pruner worldwide, this baby can slice through a 3/4-inch branch in a snap.
	TOTE: Stash your stuff in this roomy mesh-and-canvas bag.
	PRUNING SAW: You can banish an overgrown bush or small tree with this pruning saw. It cleverly folds in half so you can tuck it in your tote.
	SUN HAT: Here's a garden hat cool enough to wear to the deli or while puttering around the yard in the midday sun.
	CLOGS: Rubbery garden clogs will keep your feet safe from sharp rocks and sticks. To clean, simply hose them off.
	LOPPERS: Branches up to 1 1/2 inches thick are no match for these loppers. Ratchet action eases the work load.
	HAND RAKE: Great for getting to hard-to-reach spaces. The rubber grip will keep your hand blister-free; the tines collapse for easy storage.
	CULTIVATOR: This durable, sharp tine cultivator will pry up stones, rip out weeds and break down hard soil to prep for planting.
	HEDGE SHEARS: Used by landscape pros, these are lightweight but pack a powerful punch when tackling a yard full of shrubs gone wild.
	GLOVES: With a close fit (good for planting and weeding), these durable gloves will keep hands clean and dry. Just toss 'em in the wash. Available in five cool colors.
