THE BEST Black & Decker

These alligator-jawed power garden tools make quick work of cutting branches and logs, while minimizing the safety risks of working with a chainsaw. The LP1000 is a 4.5-amp corded version, while the LLP120 is a cordless version that runs on a 20V MAX rechargeable battery. Both can saw through branches up to 4″ in diameter.

Black & Decker’s Ready Wrench is an all-in-one socket wrench, replacing sixteen sockets (eight standard, eight metric); it features etched and color-coded sizes for easy visibility.
