A garden tool is any one of many tools made for gardens and gardening and includes tools used for agriculture and horticulture. Garden tools can be both hand tools and power tools, with the hand tools having originated by gardeners using the earliest agricultural implements used by man. Some common garden hand tools are the spade, the garden hoe, the pitchfork, and the rake. Metalworking allowed for the manufacturing of cutting tools, including pruning and hedge shears. The first power tool to become popular with gardeners was the lawn mower, but this has been followed by other power tools like the chainsaw.
If you need to sharpen garden tools, it helps to have a power sharpener, but it can be done by hand as well. With these video instructions, you'll learn how to sharpen a number of tools, from hedge shears and axes to lawn mower blades and shovels. There will be safety tips, as well as instructions on manual versus mechanical sharpening. After you sharpen your tools, digging, cutting, and pruning will become so much easier, and your garden or lawn will look much smoother. You don't need a green thumb to make sure your garden tools are in the best shape possible!
