A Cut Above - few tools match the testosterone-spiking thrill of a chain saw-until its kickback makes you shake like a dashboard hula dancer. Enter the Stihl MS 271 which uses a sophisticated antivibration system to dampen its 2.6 kilowatt engine's oscillations, killing the shakes(and keeping your hands from going numb). It'll be tough not to deforest the whole backyard [from $430; stihlusa.com]
Stronger Spade - sure, the sour apple-green, O-shape handle makes the Radius Pro-Lite Flat Spade look like a child's toy. But try it: The rounded, non-slip surface lets you grip the handle anywhere to create more ground-piercing force than you would have with a standard, flat-handled spade. Now go show that chunk of sod who's boss [$25; radiusgarden.com]
Better Barrow - hoisting heavy logs, stones or sod into a standard metal wheelbarrow is a groin pull waiting to happen. Forgo the pain(and any awkward application of Icy Hot)with the Allsop Wheeleasy. Its durable, 350-pound-capacity canvas sling collapses flat on the ground, giant dustpan-style, creating an opening into which you can easily roll items-no strain. [$115; allsopgarden.com]
Mix Master - the average compost bin is little more than a box that attracts rodents and emits the smell of rotting plants. The 55-gallon, two-chamber Algreen Terra Dual-Batch Tumbling Composter solves both problems by utilizing a drum that's lifted off the ground & sealed with a sturdy sliding door. [$190; gardensupermart.com]
Root Blaster - when weeds dare pockmark your manicured lawn, use the Fiskars UpRoot Weed & Root Remover to snatch them out. Drive it's stainless-steel claw into the ground near the weed, step on the pedal to clamp the claw shut, and pull the handle to drag the pest out, taproot and all. Pump the telescoping handle, shot-gun-style, to send the infiltrator sailing. [$35; fiskars.com]
Grip and Rip - spend a couple hours tending to your yard in stiff, old gardening gloves and you'll end up with more callouses on your hands than a teenage boy with unrestricted Web access. Designed by an orthopedic surgeon, the cabretta leather Bionic Elite Gardening Gloves features just the right amount of padding while maximizing grip. Silicone on the thumb and fingertips provides an extra layer of protection against stick stabbings, and ventilated webbing prevents sweaty mitts. [$30; bionicgloves.com]
