Hand Tools

Why Choose Our Gardening Hand Tools?

Quality matters when it comes to gardening tools. Well-made garden hand tools not only make every aspect of plant care easier, but will also last much longer before needing to be replaced – perhaps even for a lifetime. Consider them an essential investment in your gardening success. 

Each tool in our range has been carefully selected to perform in Australian gardens, made with high-grade materials and comfortable, ergonomic designs that reduce strain and fatigue. From garden secateurs to digging tools, our hand tools offer exceptional durability and precision, with quality you know you can trust.

What Are the Best Hand Tools?

The best garden hand tools will depend on the kind of job you’re tackling. Secateurs are excellent for precise pruning, while loppers are designed to handle thicker branches, and garden shears keep hedges neat. Sturdy digging tools make planting a breeze. The best hand tools combine durability, comfort and functionality – and of course, they should be available at a reasonable price, as they are at Mr Fothergill’s.

How to Maintain Hand Tools

Proper maintenance can help extend the life of your garden hand tools, so it’s worth doing right. After each use, clean your tools with a soft cloth to remove dirt and moisture. Keep cutting edges sharp with a professional sharpening tool or file. Store your tools in a case or cover in a dry place. It can also help to apply a light coat of oil to metal parts once in a while to prevent rust, especially after working in damp conditions or near salt water.
