I love gardening. Ever since the weather warmed up, I have spent at least a few minutes each day in my many gardens. I also love taking care of the landscaping around my yard. In addition to trees and bushes, I have been hard at work the past few weeks adding a butterfly garden and redoing some paths and my patio. My old gardening tools have taken quite a beating over the past few years, and I always seem to be in need of trowels, especially when my young children take off with mine in the backyard. Thus, when recently offered the chance to review the premium four-piece gardening tool set from Apex Life in exchange for my honest opinion, I eagerly accepted the opportunity.
Price
The Apex Life premium four-piece gardening tool set currently retails for $20.99 on Amazon. Each tool costs approximately $5.25. Other similar gardening tools and sets sell for around the same price. I would definitely pay $20.99 for this set of four tools. I therefore rate the price quite positively.
Design
With everything that a gardening needs for basic home gardening projects, the premium four-piece gardening tool set from Apex Life comes with a hand trowel, transplanter, cultivator, and pruning shears. Each tool features durable cast-aluminum heads, ergonomic soft-grip handles, and space-saving hook holes for clutter-free storage. The locking pruning shears have spring-loaded handle grips and ultra-sharp blades, making light-duty pruning tasks easy. The lightweight but durable tools are shiny, rust-proof, extremely sturdy, and easy to clean. Ergonomic handles provide a comfortable grip. The tools are designed especially with seniors and arthritis sufferers in mind. Apex Life offers a 100% risk-free satisfaction guarantee.
Performance
I have broken gardening tools in the past. I infamously snapped the blade off some pruning shears while chopping branches off an evergreen bush a few years before my daughter was born. I therefore need hardcore tools that will withstand heavy use. Plastic chips and breaks easily, so I prefer metal tools while working in my gardens. Metal tools are especially important in certain areas of my yard because of the presence of many rocks in the soil. The cast-aluminum heads of the four-piece gardening tool set from Apex Life is lightweight but durable. Although the product description states that the tools are long-handled, I consider the length average, which is perfect for me. Based on the quality, I expect these tools to last me for many years.
When I am gardening, I find that basic tools work best. When I am planting flowers, vegetables, and seeds, I most often use a trowel or transplanter. To remove weeds between rows and loosen soil, I use a cultivator. I also frequently use pruning shears to trim my plants such as my tomatoes. The four-piece gardening tool set from Apex Life provides me with all the basic tools that I use most often. If you are shopping for a basic set of tools for a new gardener, Apex Life provides a great starting point. Experienced gardeners like myself will also find the set perfect to replace older tools. If I could have only one set of gardening tools, Apex Life would provide me with the simplest tools that I need for my gardening adventures.
I am quite impressed with the hand trowel, transplanter, cultivator, and pruning shears from Apex Life. At the moment, I am using the pruning shears quite a lot. Most of my plants are already in the ground and growing, so I am focusing on trimming my flowers and vegetables to produce the healthiest plants. My tomatoes, for example, are growing larger every day. This year I pledged to do a better job of keeping my tomatoes trimmed so that I do not end up with an overgrown mess and too many tomatoes. My Apex Life pruning shears are prefect for trimming off branches from my tomato plants. I have also been using the other three tools as I lay own sand and paver gravel for a current landscaping project. I am redoing my patio, and these tools are coming in quite handy! I love the multiple uses of the tools in the premium four-piece gardening tool set from Apex Life.
Final Verdict
If you are shopping for a basic set of tools for a new or expert gardener, I highly recommend the premium four-piece gardening tool set from Apex Life. The set comes with a hand trowel, transplanter, cultivator, and pruning shears. Each tool features durable cast-aluminum heads, ergonomic soft-grip handles for a comfortable grip, and space-saving hook holes for clutter-free storage.
