Corona Tools have been beloved by gardeners for many decades. They are considered a reliable upgrade from cheap tools you might pick up at a supermarket, but without the high price point of other name brands. They’re reliable, durable tools with replaceable parts so you can fix the tool if it breaks instead of buying a new one. Corona also offers a wide variety of tools so you can find exactly what you need for each spring gardening task.
Prune
Corona started out in the 1920s manufacturing an orange clipper. The company branched out from there and is still best known for their pruning hand tools. These include several styles of loppers, pruners, and long-handled tree pruners. Folding, pruning, and razor saws are also available and let you prune larger branches.
One of the great things about Corona is that you can find a tool to fit every task and preference. In loppers and pruners, choose from bypass, anvil, and ratchet cutting heads. You also have options for handle size, length, and style. For trimming trees, long handle saws and compound action pruners reach the higher-up branches without the risk of working on a ladder.
Shear
For the more precise cutting needed when working with smaller plants or harvesting fruit, Corona manufactures snips and shears. These include very specific styles, such as grape snips and lemon shears for harvesting, as well as floral scissors and houseplant shears.
Corona also offers grass and hedge shears. Grass shears are a great tool for trimming the grass around flower beds where mowers can’t reach. In some situations, they’re a better choice than powered string-line trimmers since you can cut more precisely and avoid surrounding plants. For shaping hedges, several styles of hedge shears with your choice of long, short, or extendable handles allow for precise trimming.
Dig
A good digging tool is one of a gardener’s best friends. For planting new flowers, shrubs and trees, or relocating an existing plant, you need a reliable shovel or spade. Corona’s shovels are designed for maximum durability. Different styles offer ash wood, fiberglass or aerospace grade steel handles. Available blades include tempered 14-gauge steel and heat treated, extra heavy-duty 12-gauge steel.
Other long-handled tools include cultivators and hoes. Hand tools like trowels, mattocks, weeders, transplanters, and forks are also among the hand and garden tools Corona offers. These include comfort-grip styles to make weeding and garden work easier on you hands.
Clean-up
For cleaning up the garden, Corona makes several types of rakes. Shrub rakes, leaf rakes, bow head rakes, landscape rakes – whichever you’re looking for they have it in a long-lasting design made of either light-weight poly and aluminum or metal heads with fiberglass or wood handles. After you’ve finished clean-up, move yard waste out of the way with one of Corona’s heavy-duty steel or poly wheelbarrows.
There are over 400 hand tools in the Corona line. If you’re curious to learn more you can check out Corona’s online catalog (just follow the links in this article) or come in to our location in Richardson, Texas and see many of these tools in-person.
