My favorite garden tools | Pruners, spades & more | The Impatient Gardener

Publicado 2019-09-13
I’m sharing all my favorite garden tools. I have a garage full of tools, but these are the things I use and look for regularly.

This is NOT a sponsored video! Items that I received for review or for other projects are noted below. I bought everything else.

Some of these tools are pretty expensive. Let me be clear here: YOU DON’T NEED EXPENSIVE TOOLS TO GARDEN. I’m just a gadget geek who really loves playing with tools and instead of a closet full of shoes (note the flip flops) I have a garage full of gardening tools. 

In addition to the tools I mention here, some brands that offer less expensive but very good options are Corona and Fiskars.

Here are links to all the tools I mention (or a close substitute for items that are no longer available). Prices given in the video are current as of September 2019, but prices change all the time (I bought many of these pruners for far less than these items are currently selling for).

    I had a shovel my mother gave me when I was in my twenties and just starting gardening in my own yard. It cut through everything and was always the shovel I used. This year, (I'm 69) I broke the wood handle digging out a root. I was so upset, I loved that shovel. Sorry, I wanted to share that with people who understand the love for a good tool!
  • @pennyduncan5980
    Lady! Why do you not have a million subscribers? You should have! Love your videos and humor!
  • @kathy9341
    Favorite tool an old steak knife. Also useful, opens bags, digs out tough roots, edges stepping stones. The list goes on and on.
  • @paulet990
    I have arthritis in my hands, so a ratcheting pruner is a lifesaver.
  • @baylaschauer3122
    I have pruners from the dollar store! I do have better ones, but I misplace them all the time, so buy a bunch and leave them where I think I will find them! I would also like to see a video on sharpening them.
  • @janicewenzel1456
    Your video's are so informative and practical..love your delivery with a touch of humour...
  • @joanne_niagara
    Love your sense of humour! I'm a new fan and look forward to watching all your past videos. Great info. Thank you!
  • Wow, A gardener with a sense of humor. Loved being schooled on the different pruning tools and their uses. Loved those edger clippers you showed. I just Liked and Subscribed. Thank you
  • GREAT video!! I think one of my favorite garden/yard helper is the pop up garden bag. I have two and I use them so much.
  • 😆😆you continue to crack me up. The scroll for the head cut off….to be so real and wonderful. Thank you. Great tool list. Going to check out several. That rake just blew my mind…
  • @jille9650
    I just got the ARS needle nose pruners a few weeks ago and love them. They fit my hand and are so sharp and lightweight. Great for my arm that had the torn bicep and rotator cuff caused by, you guessed it, my dog. Next will be a spade to use instead of a shovel. Thank you for your great videos!
  • @austintanner688
    This may be one of the better review videos I've watched on YouTube for sheer enjoyableness
  • @luimtz2234
    Lol!!!! Too funny, I loved it, blame the dog.
  • @etteluuap
    WOW! Just great. I'm a newbie (and 72) so these descriptions and costs are SO helpful. Thank you!
  • @MindysPlace
    I am here to tell you that you don't need fancy tools. I use a shovel and a hand trowel for the most part, but I am going to the hardware store today to pick up one of those garden knives and a spade. This is the second video I've watched that recommend them and making my life easier at this point is a bonus. My garden is huge and I can use all the help I can get.
  • This was an interesting video!! Laughing about your disclaimer in the beginning!! Love that you always include the pets!
  • @kyrad6543
    the hydrangeas behind you are a true highlight!
  • I love clean edges on boarders! It does make a huge difference in how the gardens look. I like a half moon step edger for getting clean lines but definitely want to try the edge cutter!
  • @cronk707
    Love your style! Right to the point. Thank you.
