This is the Garden Protection classic gardening hand tool.

These mini shovel lookalikes come in different lengths and widths for different space needs and soil type, and are used for digging small holes for pots and garden plots.

Along those same lines is the transplanting trowel, modified slightly for the purpose of digging up and repotting those plants with well-established root structures.

Like trowels, hoes come in various shapes, but they all come with the basic three prong form and are used for digging out weeds, breaking up soil and creating planting trenches.

Pruning shears are used to cut thinner branches and the basic shaping of bushes which have gotten out of hand.

Similar to pruners are loppers, whose longer handles create leverage for thicker branches and hard to reach areas.

Hedge shears also fall under the same umbrella, but are specifically constructed to cut in straight, flat lines for precision shaping.

Although bigger than the average hand tool, a rake can still be affixed upright to the backs of potting table via pegboard or a lattice framework.

Opt for a rake with sturdy metal tines for the collection of leaves. A flimsy rake will just create more problems than it's Garden Tool Box worth.
