Corona Folding RazorTOOTH Saw®
Empower your favorite gardener to tackle larger pruning jobs with the Corona Folding RazorTOOTH Saw. A fast-cutting pruning saw is a must for removing deadwood and limbs and branches up to 6 inches in diameter.

You’ll power through cuts with ease with its extremely sharp blade that cuts fast and efficiently. The steel blade goes through four hardening processes to stay sharp for years of performance, and it can be replaced when you need it. The RazorTOOTH Saw helps make cleaner, healthier cuts on fresh tree limbs. Its compact size also makes it ideal to fold up and toss in outdoor recreation backpacks for use out on the trails.

Hip-Trug™
Hip-Trug from Burgon & Ball is an ingenious helping hand for every gardener. It’s a lightweight container in a flexible holster that simply clips to clothing, leaving both hands free for gardening jobs. Hip-Trug solves the common problem of overloaded hands when deadheading, harvesting, or simply pottering in the garden. It’s like having an extra pair of hands! No more trying to carry more produce or debris than your hands will comfortably hold, and no more bending down to a trug or basket on the ground. The soft neoprene band clips easily to pocket, belt, or waistband, holding the container firmly in place, even when kneeling. When it’s full, simply slide the tough, food-safe, and microwaveable container from its holster for easy emptying. Available in select colors, Hip-Trug is a clever new idea to make gardening easier—the perfect hands-free wearable garden trug.

At the heart of these knee pads is a core of lightweight shock-absorbing EVA foam surrounded by luxurious twin layers of cushioning memory foam. The unique registered design, together with soft elastic material, offers the wearer unbelievable comfort in use. The cut-out above the knee eliminates any digging-in at the back of the legs when kneeling, as well as uncomfortable pressure at the front when standing. The knee pads are water-resistant, too, with a durable neoprene shell and quick-dry nylon coating. Sturdy hook-and-loop fastenings keep the knee pads securely in place, however active you are as you work. Keep a pair in the garden shed and another inside for cleaning and maintenance jobs.
