You can't do without quality hand tools when working on a construction site or in the garden. When repairing and installing a fence, you can certainly make use of hand-held earth drills, paint brushes or hammers. Rakes, scythes, pitchforks and shovels will help if you're cleaning up the garden after lawn mowing or landscaping, while saws, secateurs and pruning shears or axes will work well when trimming trees and shrubs. If you have decided to plant potatoes or a flower bed, having a good spade to hand is a must.
