Long handle garden tools

What are long handle garden tools?

These garden tools have long handles that allow you to stand and use your whole body while gardening rather than just your upper body, wrists, and hands.

Standing to dig, turn over soil, and rake can significantly decrease the amount of effort required to look after your outdoor spaces. The longer the handle the more leverage you have.

Long handle garden tools are useful if you have trouble bending or kneeling, have arthritis, or you suffer with pain, or fatigue.
