Handy Tools
Found out how sharp my nippers are when I almost pruned the tip of my finger this morning while cutting flowers. Once I got it to stop bleeding I put some tea tree ADE salve on it and a Band-Aid to hold it together. These hand held garden shears are handy for cutting just about anything under 2 inches…even take them riding to clear the trails…

What is the handiest tool that you use the most around the home?
For me it would be my “nippers”.

I have to say that my Leatherman wave is my tool of choice, can clean hooves, cut wire, sharp knife, etc. Hardly ever without it...

When you need it, you REALLY need it!

Bought a pair of these about 15 years ago when I was welding. More cutting and pinching power than you'd believe

My bee veil is the tool I use the most, but for just around the house it has to be the table saw.
