The Gardeners answer to the Swiss Army knife

Now, the Swiss Army knife is a much lauded piece of equipment for good reason. It is THE piece of equipment for those in the know when outward bound or indeed just outside. Over many years, the male guardian and I have utilised many a piece of garden machinery and lo, dear souls, we believe we have found our own gardeners equivalent to the Swiss Army knife. Now, we are all different and what suits one will not another so we fully understand if you do not agree. This little gem is a multitasker and oh, how it doth deliver; grass is strimmed, the brush is cut, the hedges trimmed, branches cut, both low down and on high. What an invaluable addition to one's armoury as a country dweller. The garden really is benefitting from this little gem, as there is nought so enjoyable than that which delivers or "does what is says on the tin". In times past we have used equipment that has come with all guns blazing only to fail as it quickly becomes apparent that it really is not as robust as advertised - most disappointing, is it not. As I gaze upon our small estate, I can see the evidence of what this Gardeners Swiss knife equivalent has  achieved with crisp yew hedges, grass/brush free banks, tidy orchard, etc, and am most satisfied to have finally found this solid little worker that is such a joy to use. It is one of those fundamental pieces of equipment, rather like a drone bee, that goes about its work without fanfare yet one returns to time and time again because it delivers. One can only hope you find your own Gardeners equivalent for it will revolutionise your gardening day.
