What are your favorite tools? What tools could you just not do without? Do you have a bucketful of useless tools that you never use cluttering up your garage or shed? Come on and tell all!

Are you looking for recommendations for a certain type of tool? Post here and others will share their favorites.

This one I saw! I was trying to think of my favorite garden tool. It really depends on the job. The first thing that came to mind was my hands! Hilarious!

I do like my Fiskars shovel, but it isn't always with me, only if I have to dig a hole. This one: http://www2.fiskars.com/Products/Yard-and-Garden/Digging-Too... The photo doesn't show what I like best about it. It has a nice "step plate" at the top edge of the shovel. I can even use it bare footed!

For pulling weeds, especially dandelions, I like this one: http://www2.fiskars.com/Products/Yard-and-Garden/Weeders/UpR...

I guess I am a Fiskars fanatic! LOL

I have one of those Fiskars weed pullers too. It is great. the first one broke the head right off with a tough weed. They replaced it no questions asked.

Sheri, I meant to say that I was pulling a woody vine out with that weed puller when it broke. That darn vine was tougher than the weed puller. I don't think an herbaeceous weed would have broken it.

Chris, I used to always use a 5 gallon bucket, but then a friend gave me a collapsible cloth basket that I absolutely love and use all of the time now. It's rectangular and lightweight. Hilarious! Hilarious! Since some of my weeds have gotten too tall, they fit better in the basket. Also, I can throw an extra tool or cut bloom into it and retrieve it easily before emptying the basket.

After hearing people suggest Craftsman Hose, for their lifetime guarantee, I sent DH to buy one. The dumb thing has kinked from day one! I do not like my grey with red stripe Sears Craftsman hose.
