Saves having to carry multiple tools pulling down my pants. The pruner is very effective and the saw is a great addition. Rating: 4 / 5 A very useful tool to have around the small farm and vineyard.

I really just wanted to vacuum leaves. The hose fitting onto the mouth of the bucket comes loose too easily. Once the bucket is filled it is hard to get the contents into paper yard bags the garbage man will take. <br /> <br />It is well made and hopefully I will get additional uses out of it.

I own many gardening books including Vegetable Gardeners Bible. I like the Reader's Digest Book the best as it has a nice format, beautiful pictures and information that other garderning books do not contain. The book covers garden planning, setup, general growing tips, harvesting and storage (no other book has covered this). Then there is a multiple page section for each vegetable that can possible be grown. I also like that there are also two points of view offered by the two authors of this this book: totally organic and the use pesticides in special cases. I paid full price for this book at a local bookstore and felt it was money well spent. Rating: 5 / 5 I am a long time gardener who has had off and on success growing vegetables.

It does however have an extensive plant guide which is useful.

My brother got it for me, but then was lost at a wedding for the flowers. I like it so much I bought another one. Its very functional and useful to have a bunch of tools in the handle so you don't have to go back to the garage or shed to grab another tool if you can open up the handle and get a saw/file/etc quickly. Would make a great present for dads/moms. Rating: 5 / 5 Must have for gardening enthusiasts. My brother got it for me, but then was lost at a wedding for the flowers.
