If you have any type of arthritis, carpal tunnel or general wrist/hand weakness, these gardening tools are for you! Lightweight, yet the grips fit beautifully in your hand causing any discomfort. They also do a fabulous job in the garden, performing the usual digging, raking, probing functions with ease. What a great innovation!

I purchased this set for my Mom. She's 75 and gardening is a big part of her life. She told me these tools keep her hands and wrists for getting tired. She hasn't used all the tools because it's winter, but had a good experience while repotting. They will be easy to find in the garden with the color.

These hand tools perform exactly as advertised. They are comfortable, easy to use and cause little, if any, wrist discomfort - even after getting thirty-six plants into the ground on one afternoon! The bright neon green makes them a cinch to spot, even on a lawn. Highly recommended! Since they are fairly new, I cannot comment on longevity. I am thinking of buying them for gifts.

I picked these up for my landscaping company, to get a set of small handheld tools to assist with planting tasks.

I've been a fan of Radius Garden's NRG-PRO tools, and decided these went along nicely with that same theme. Of course, to really be useful they have to do their job well, and not just look pretty. These tools succeed, and have shown no signs of wear or tear despite digging into both cultivated soil and uncultivated meadow areas.

Perhaps the best statement about them is that, after six hours of use a day, you don't notice any problems. They really act as extensions of your hands. While sometimes clawing at the dirt with your fingers might be needed, these make it easier and don't get in the way.

When I wanted to move my son to another job to make sure he didn't get bored or sore, he said he preferred to stick with pulling invasive weeds out of the flower bed, using the weeder, large trowel, and the claw. I'm fairly sure that getting a teenager to want to weed is considered a miracle... =)

I purchased these for my mom, who has problems with carpal tunnel and loves gardening. They are sturdy enough to do their job but are also lightweight and well-designed, ensuring that her hands and wrists are pain-free even after working with them for hours. Would recommend. Double check that you have 4 different tools, because I did not and had to reorder. It is a good range of tools - my mom especially likes the long and narrow saw-edged one for weeding.

These items were great at first, but with daily use on the weeds the long one broke in two. BUt before that I thought this was the greatest weeder ever!

I saw them on "This Old House" and the handle design is genius for us boomers. As we prepare to move full time into our mountain house and into retirement they seemed like the perfect gift for my wife. She loves to garden but tends to complain about wrist and forearm pain. Since we are practicing for retirement the new rule is no more "random" spending. So I e-mailed the kids on opposite coasts and asked what they were getting mom for Mother's Day. They were thrilled with the suggestion and so I ordered the tools and one of those cute canvas skirts for a five gallon paint tub so she could have holsters for the tools and the bucket for the gardening supplies. They both arrived in two days and the tools had a classy tag on each one and a lifetime warrantee. I stopped by Home Depot for a paint bucket and then Costco for a bouquet of flowers. On the way up to our mountain house I stopped at a wide spot in the road and put the skirt on the bucket, the tools in the skirt and the flowers in the bucket. When I got home I hid them all in my tool shed (my wife never goes out there) and the surprise was perfect.

My wife was thrilled on Mother's day and spent most of Sunday in the garden. Both kids called and they received kudos for the great gift. Best of all my wife praised the quality, light weight, and functionality of the tools and didn't complain once about her hands or wrists hurting that evening.

My wife had recent carpal tunnel surgery and, as an active gardner, wanted tools to continue working without problems. The tools are definitely designed to ease stress on the hands and wrist areas. She has used them in a variety of soils, including rocky and heavy root areas, and they have shown no weakness. Past tools have bent, broken, or handles came off while she worked in the garden. We are very pleased with them and would recommend them to any person who loves to work in the garden.

I have carpal tunnel and I was pleasantly surprised when I received the tool set. Sturdy construction, padded handles and it's ease of use. It makes gardening so much easier!

These tools work great for a 60ish woman with hand pain. They did not bend in our hard Colorado soil.
