Good hand tools make farm work less tiring and safer. Pruning shears should have quality steel blades and a safety lock; a pruning saw handles thick branches. Heavy work gloves, rubber boots and a wide hat protect against thorns, insects and strong sun. Choose a battery or petrol brush cutter by the size of your land, read the safety instructions and wear eye protection. Keep blades clean and dry after use to limit rust.
