(MONEY Magazine) – April showers bring May flowers--along with a deluge of springtime garden chores. With these Bahco pruners you can tackle anything on your property, from an unruly forsythia to a riotous rose bush. Originally developed for use in French vineyards, Bahco's pruners are now the choice cutters for commercial landscapers and gardeners. Luckily for us, Bahco has put the same materials and technology used in its professional line (the blades are xylan-coated for rustproofing and sharpness) into a tool collection for discerning home gardeners. We like the classic pruners (P121-20; $26.75; shown here) with handles in stainless steel. All come in various sizes and blade lengths, plus there's an ergonomic line with handles made of lightweight plastic. But Bahco also sports other products. Their collection of hand tools for the home garden--10 pieces--costs $88.47. Visit www.bahco.com/us for a dealer near you. --AMY WILSON
