We’ve all got them - trowels we’ve inherited from grandparents, wonky rakes, and shears that might have rusted shut from lack of use.
But while we wouldn’t advocate ditching your prized tools – especially those with sentimental value, updating and upgrading some key items will help keep you productive in the garden.
New technologies and modern designs are helping us get better results in the garden with improved ergonomics, better power output, and exceptional precision – so why not take advantage and check out some key tool upgrade options?
If you do decide to upgrade, there are two great charities in the UK who will be delighted to receive your unwanted tools. Check them out here:

Pruning and Cutting
Here at Agrigem, we love powered pruners and think they represent one of the best advances in garden tool technology in recent years.
Although pruning has the potential to be one of your more satisfying garden jobs, those larger tougher stems can stress our hands and joints – which is where powered pruners come into their own.
Little effort is required to cut through even the most challenging woody stems – taking the pressure out of pruning. Battery technologies keep you mobile meaning no need to run cables.
Try these options:
Webb Long Reach Trimmer and Pruner Attachment
Traditionalists will tell you there’s nothing like a pair of hand shears to trim and shape that hedge, but powered trimmers are now much lighter than they once were - with improved battery life and ergonomics. Take a look at these new hedge trimming tools:
Milwaukee Hedge Trimmer Attachment
Raking, Scarifying and Tilling
There’s no getting away from it, scarifying and tilling are hard work. And if you’re still scarifying manually with a rake, you’ll know you’re getting a good work out.
New powered scarifying, raking and tilling equipment will not only spare your muscles but will significantly improve the efficiency and quality of your scarifying.

Garden Tidying
If you’ve got deciduous trees on or bordering your garden, you’re either grateful for a free supply of mulch and leaf mould, or you can’t wait for autumn to be over and the leaves to be gone!
Either way, make the process of tidying your garden and moving leaves more enjoyable with these powered tidying tool upgrades:
The Handy Electric Garden Blower and Vacuum
The Handy Electric Impact Shredder
Moving Around
Finally, if your wheelbarrow is looking a little battered, consider an upgrade to a tougher, arguably more useful, garden trolley!
Our range of four wheeled trollies are easy to move around with puncture-proof tyres and tipping mechanisms that make light work of your garden moving chores.
