Dramm Rain Wand

After trying about five different watering wands to replace a Gilmour extending wand that I'd liked a whole lot, I ended up with a Dramm Rain Wand like this one, but about 24" long and anodized blue. Dramm also offers basically the same thing with a squeeze valve called "Touch-N-Flow", but it is garbage for two simple reasons. First, the touch-n-flow model has practically no actual flow (it should be called "touch-n-drip") compared to this wand, which has a nice ball valve at the bottom with a big enough handle to operate with gloved hands. Second, the touch-n-flow's "stay on" function is a tiny metal clip which we lost within a week.

Fiskars 21-Inch PowerGear Bypass Lopper

I am not ashamed to admit that I have a tendency to display what is commonly referred to by weasels and snakes alike everywhere as the "true" laziness, which dictates that I will spend a hundred hours automating a task that I do four times a year for fifteen minutes. Along with this particular disease comes an inordinate love of fancy gadgets which reduce work by any degree. One such work-reducer is the Fiskars PowerGear bypass lopper.
