I had the luxury in the past with getting by with what ever hand tools I had handy. I now have an long term changes in my dominant wrist. I have lost range of motion and strength in my wrist.

I will need the best and easiest tools to be able to some of the gardening that I love. There are so many kinds of tools out on the market. Instead of buying one of everything. Those of you who are already there what pruners work best? What hand trowels and claws really work? I attached a photo of one kind. Does it really change work load and is it easy to learn to work with? What other hand tools really make the work load less and make it so you can do the tasks you want to do?

Thankfully the rest of my body is still in good health. I just need ideas for tools for my hand.

Thanks in advance,
