Gloves are worn to protect the hands from soil,
water or cold. They may be constructed from
lightweight cotton, leather (or a combination), or
from a water-proof material such as rubber.
Pruning shears, also called hand pruners (in
American English), or secateurs, are a type of

up to two centimetres thick.
Loppers are a type of scissors used for pruning
twigs and small branches, like secateurs with very
long handles. They are the largest type of manual

A watering can (or watering pot) is a portable
container, usually with a handle and a funnel, used
to water plants by hand. It has been in use since at
least 79 A.D. and has since seen many
improvements in design. Apart from watering
plants, it has varied uses, as it is a fairly versatile
tool.
A hose is a flexible hollow tube designed to carry
fluids from one location to another. Hoses are also
sometimes called pipes (the word pipe usually
refers to a rigid tube, whereas a hose is usually a
flexible one), or more generally tubing. The shape
of a hose is usually cylindrical (having a circular
cross section).
A garden fork, spading fork, digging fork or graip is
a gardening implement, with a handle and several
(usually four) short, sturdy tines. It is used similarly
to a spade, but in many circumstances it is more
appropriate than a spade: the tines allow the
implement to be pushed more easily into the
ground, it can rake out stones and weeds and break
up clods, it is not so easily stopped by stones, and it
does not cut through weed roots or root-crops.
A rake is a broom for outside use; a horticultural
implement consisting of a toothed bar fixed
transversely to a handle, or tines fixed to a handle,
and used to collect leaves, hay, grass, etc., and in
gardening, for loosening the soil, light weeding and
levelling, removing dead grass from lawns, and
generally for purposes performed in agriculture by
the harrow
A shovel is a tool for digging, lifting, and moving
bulk materials, such as soil, coal, gravel, snow,
sand, or ore. Most shovels are hand tools consisting
of a broad blade fixed to a medium-length handle.
An axe is an implement that has been used for
millennia to shape, split and cut wood, to harvest
timber, as a weapon, and as a ceremonial or heraldic
symbol. The axe has many forms and specialized
uses but generally consists of an axe head with a
handle, or helve
