Back-saver long-handled tools

Long handles and stand-up designs mean weeding and cultivating without bending. The AU option pairs a stand-up weeder with a kneeler-seat.

Long-handled bulb planter

Plant bulbs standing up. Step on it, twist, and drop the bulb in.

Long-reach cut-and-hold picker

Cuts and grips fruit or flowers out of reach, so there's no need for a ladder.
