Everyone who has their own land needs garden tools. Moreover, the size of the garden does not matter, tools for working on it are needed in any case, even if there is a variety of specialized equipment. In this case, garden tools play an auxiliary function or the main one in those works where the use of mechanized equipment is impossible. All hand tools for the garden can be divided into large and small.
The first includes pitchforks, shovels, rakes, brush cutters, large garden shears, scythes. The second group includes hoes, secateurs, sickles, knives, baking powder, shovels, saws.

Their power is enough to power both power tools and lighting. Sprayers and sprayers, in addition to providing moisture to plants, are used to control a variety of pests. To do this, instead of water, they use solutions of chemicals.
