Sprayers

Manual sprayers from Stihl and Echo are heavy-duty products designed for easy mixing and precision application of fertilizers, herbicides, and other water-soluble gardening products. The smallest hand-held sprayer, Stihl SG10, holds a little less than 1/2 a gallon of liquid, and is light-weight for quick spraying tasks. It is specially designed for repeated, trouble-free use.

Echo’s MS-20H and MS-30H sprayers are larger, holding 2 and 3 gallons respectively. Both are light enough to be carried in one hand while you use the 30-inch wand to spray. They both come with three nozzles – an adjustable nozzle made of brass, a fixed fan nozzle, and a fixed cone nozzle. The MS-40BP is a 4-gallon backpack sprayer for treating larger areas.

Clippers

Corona Tools, carried by Richardson Saw & Lawnmower, is an American brand known for quality hand and garden tools. These include trowels and cultivators, shovels, rakes and other long handle tools, and a wide range of pruning and cutting tools.

The first product Corona manufactured in the early 1920s was a cutting tool for harvesting oranges. Since then, their line of cutting tools has been dramatically expanded and is well known for offering quality products that are also affordable for home gardeners. These cutting tools include loppers, such as the new ComfortGEL Bypass lopper designed for strong cutting with less fatigue, and a wide selection of pruners, shears, snips and pruning saws. They also offer long-reach pruners for cutting taller trees and hedges.

Power Trimmers and Pruners

When you need more power than a manual tool can offer, there are several electric or gasoline powered hedge trimmers and pruners designed for homeowner use. RedMax CHT220 is a gas powered hedge trimmer with a 18-inch cutting blade that is double edged so you can cut in both directions. The rear handle can be adjusted for easy cutting in different positions, and a safety bar comes standard to help prevent leg injury.

Stihl’s light-weigh HSE 52 Electric Hedge Trimmer is designed for quiet use in residential areas. It has a 20-inch double edged cutting blade. It also features a safety system that will shut the motor down if both hands are not on the handles. Stihl also offers straight and adjustable angle hedge trimmers and a pole pruner as attachments for their Homeowner KombiSystem, so you can use a single power head to run multiple pieces of equipment and save on storage space.
