1. A hand towel is a smaller towel used specifically to drythe hands and face. As with bath towels, these small towelsare often made of cotton-based terrycloth for extraabsorbency.Hand towels are also sometimes used as decorativeaccents in the bathroom.

Among the various types of towels, the hand towel is probablythe second most commonly used towel around the home. Secondonly to the bath towel, the hand towel is often positionednear the sink in the bathroom. This makes it possible forpeople to quickly dry their hands after washing them in the

basin. The towel is also often a favorite item for men, as the small size makes it easy touse while shaving.

Just like the larger bath towel, the hand towel is available in a wide range of colors,textures, and designs. It is possible to purchase solid colored towels that contain a highthread count. These versions are normally highly absorbent and thick to the touch.Sculpted towels add a bit of visual interest to the towel while still serving a practicalpurpose. For people who like a lot of color, it is possible to buy hand towels that arestriped or utilize several colors in some type of pattern.

2. A hand cultivator is a garden implement which gardeners can use to work thesoil and remove weeds by hand. Hand cultivators are useful for minor gardeningtasks, small gardens, and working in planters. Many garden supply stores sell

cultivators of this type, especially in the spring, andsometimes hardware stores and general stores will stockthem as well. Springtime is an especially convenientseason to pick up a hand cultivator, as many stores sellthem cheaply during the spring for gardeners who want tostart working the soil with the change of seasons.

Hand cultivators consist of a set of tines, usually three,attached to a sturdy handle. The tines are usually madefrom stainless steel, and they are typically curved andthick, so that they can grip the soil and hold their gripas the cultivator is used. A good hand cultivator is a

solid cast item with no joins or seams to create weak points, and especially goodproducts haveergonomic handles which make them easier to use.In some cases, the tines are arranged like a fan. In others, the middle tine may be closer to the handle, creating a V shape. The tines can also vary in length. All of these variations on design are intended to make the hand cultivator more effective, and some gardeners have a preferred style they like to use based on their garden experience.

3. A garden fork, spading fork, digging fork or graip is agardening implement, with a handle and several (usually four) short, sturdy tines. It is used for loosening, lifting and turning over soil in gardening and farming. It is used similarlyto a spade, but in many circumstances it is more appropriate than a spade: the tines allow the implement to be pushed more easily into the ground, it can rake out stones and weeds and break up clods, it is not so easily stopped by stones, and it does not cut through weed roots or root-crops. Garden forks wereoriginally made of wood, but the majority are now made of carbon

steel or stainless steel.

Garden forks are slightly different from pitchforks, which are used for moving loose materials such as piled hay, compost, or manure. Garden forks have comparatively a fairly short, usually wooden handle, with a "D" or "T" end. Theirtines are usually shorter, flatter, thicker, and more closely spaced.

A smaller version of such forks with shorter, closer-spaced, thinner tines (but afull-sized handle) is known as a border fork or ladies' fork, and is used for lighter work such as weeding amongst other plants. Forks with broader, flatter tines are made for lifting potatoes and other root crops from the ground. A pair of forks back-to-back is often used to lever apart dense clumps of roots.

4. Hedge shears Also known as hedge clippers or trimmers, hedge shears are devices that are used to trim decorative shrubbery and other types of plants. Designed for residential and commercial use, the shears make it possible to manicure the landscape around a home, commercial building, or other type of edifice. Hedge shears come in several sizes and with different options for a power source. The choice of the make and model forthe hedge shear equipment often depends on the intended purpose the shears will serve, and the personal preferences of the user. Basic hedge

shears are simple devices composed of two sharp blades and a set of handles that

make it possible to open and close the blades at will. The basic shears rely on the strength of the user to manage the task of trimming hedge bushes or cutting through other types of plants, such as thin tree limbs. Operating shears of this kind normally requires a fair amount of strength in the upper body, especially, the forearms and wrists. In terms of care, the blades are cleaned and honed regularly in order to maintain the tool in proper working order.

5. A rake (Old English raca, cognate with Dutch raak, German Rechen, from the root meaning "to scrape together," "heap up") is a broom for outside use; a horticultural implement consisting of a toothedbar fixed transversely to a handle, and used to collect leaves, hay, grass, etc., and, in gardening, for loosening the soil, light weeding and levelling, removing dead grass from lawns, and generally for purposes performed in agriculture by the harrow.

Large "mechanized" versions of rakes are used in farming. They are usually called hay rakes, and are built in many different forms (e.g. star-wheel rakes, rotary rakes etc.) Where farming is not mechanized various forms of hand rake are used.

7. A round point shovel is a versatile gardening tool.The blade of the shovel is slightly curved for scooping,and the end is round, often curving to a point in themiddle. The edges of the blade are beveled to allowthe shovel to slice into dirt, and the long handle canbe made of wood or fiberglass. Some shovel handles havea D-grip at the top, making them easier to maneuver.Unlike larger square point shovels which are used forscraping or lifting lighter materials like snow ormanure, a round point shovel can be used for digginglarge holes or scooping heavier material, such as rocksor wet soil. The sharp edges make these shovels useful

for cutting intosod or root material, and their bowl-like shape allows them to liftand move plants from the soil. A durable round point shovel can even be used as ahammer or to break apart compacted soil. A small round point shovel, or trowel, isuseful for weeding, digging small holes, and transplanting small plants.

8. A square shovel is a tool that is used forscooping and moving dirt, gravel or landscapingmaterials. It also is used for digging as inconstruction or landscaping. A square shovelsometimes is referred to as a spade. It can beconstructed from steel, aluminum or plastic. Steeland aluminum shovels most often are used forhousehold and industrial use, and plastic shovelsare widely preferred as snow shovels.

10. A mattock /ˈmætək/ is a versatile hand tool, used for digging and chopping, similar to the pickaxe. It has a long handle, and a stout head, which combines an axe blade and an adze (cutter mattock) or a pick and an adze (pick mattock). In some countries (such as New Zealand), the term dibber is used for amattock.

12. Pruning shears are specialized scissorswhich are designed to be used in the pruning of woody plants and flowers. They have sturdy bladeswhich can cut through woody branches, along with thick handles to make the shears easier to handleand use. Many gardeners keep a pair of pruning shears around for minor pruning tasks, along witha set of lopping shears to cut larger branches. Garden supply and hardware stores typically stockpruning shears, along with protective covers which can be pulled over their blades for storage.

14. Pruning is a horticultural and silvicultural practice involving the selective removal of parts of a plant, such as branches, buds, or roots. Reasons to prune plants include deadwood removal, shaping (by controlling or directing growth), improving or maintaining health, reducing risk from falling branches, preparing nursery specimens for transplanting, and both harvesting and increasing theyield or quality of flowers and fruits. The practice entails targeted removal of diseased, damaged, dead, non-productive, structurally unsound, or otherwise unwanted tissue from crop and landscape plants. Specialized pruning practices may be

applied to certain plants, such as roses, fruit trees, and grapevines. Different pruning techniques may be deployedon herbaceous plants than those used on perennial woody plants. Hedges, by design, are usually (but not exclusively)maintained by hedge trimming, rather than by pruning. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pruning

15. A dibber or dibble is a pointed wooden stick for making holes in the ground so that seeds, seedlings or small bulbs can beplanted. Dibbers come in a variety of designs including the straight dibber, T-handled dibber, trowel dibber, and L- shaped dibber. In some countries (such as New Zealand) the term is also oftenused to refer to a mattock.

16. A crowbar, wrecking bar, pry bar, or prybar, pinch-bar or sometimes (in British usage) a prise bar, prisebar, and more informally a jimmy, jimmy bar, jemmy[1] or gooseneck is a tool consisting of a metal bar with a single curved end and flattened points, often with a small fissure on one or both ends for removing nails. In the United Kingdom, Ireland and Australia, "crowbar" may

occasionally be used loosely for this tool, but may also be used to mean a largerstraighter tool (see spud bar). The term jemmy or jimmy most often refers to the tool when used for burglary. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crowbar_(tool)

22. Goggles or safety glasses are forms of protective eyewear that usually enclose or protect thearea surrounding the eye in order to prevent particulates, water or chemicals from striking the eyes. They are used in chemistry laboratories and in woodworking. They are often used in snow sports as well, and in swimming. Goggles are often worn when using power tools such as drills or chainsaws to prevent flying particles from damaging the eyes. Many types of

goggles are available as prescription goggles for those with vision problems.

23. The Wellington boot is a type of boot based upon leather Hessian boots. They were worn and popularised by Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington. This novel "Wellington" boot became a staple of hunting and outdoor wear for the British aristocracy in the early 19th century.

Wellington boots are also known as rubber boots, wellies, wellingtons, topboots, billy-boots, gumboots, gumbies, gummies, rainboots, gavin's, Alaskan Sneakers, and kboots.

25. A glove (Middle English from Old English glof) is a garment covering the whole hand. Gloves have separate sheaths or openings for eachfinger and the thumb; if there is an opening but no covering sheath for each finger they are called "fingerless gloves". Fingerless gloves with one large opening rather than individual openings for each fingerare sometimes called gauntlets. Gloves which cover the entire hand or fist but do not have separate finger openings or sheaths are called mittens. Mittens are warmer than gloves made ofthe same material because fingers maintain their warmth better when they are in contact with each other. Reduced surface area reduces heat loss.

26. A hat is a head covering. It can be worn for protection against the elements, for ceremonial reason, religious reasons, for safety, or as afashion accessory.[1] In the past, hats were an indicator of social status.[2] In the military, they may denote nationality, branch of service, rank and/or regiment.

28. Two-wheel tractor or walking tractor are generic terms understood in the USA and in parts of Europe to represent a single-axle tractor, which is a tractor with one axle, self-powered and self-propelled, which can pull and power various farm implements such as a trailer, cultivator or harrow, a plough, or various seeders and harvesters. The operator usually walks behind it or rides the implement being towed. Similar terms are mistakenly applied to the household rotary tiller or power

tiller; although these may be wheeled and/or self-propelled, they are not tailored for towing implements. A two-wheeled tractor specializes in pulling any of numerous types of implements, whereas rotary tillers specialize in soil tillage with their dedicated digging tools. This article concerns two-wheeled tractors as distinguished from such tillers.

29. A tractor is an engineering vehicle specifically designed to deliver a high tractive effort (or torque) at slow speeds, for the purposes ofhauling a trailer or machinery used in agriculture or construction. Most commonly, the term is used to describe a farm vehicle that provides the power and traction to mechanize agricultural tasks, especially (and originally) tillage, but nowadays a great varietyof tasks. Agricultural implements may be towed behind or mounted on the tractor, and the tractor may also

provide a source of power if the implement is mechanized. The word tractor was taken from Latin, being the agent noun of trahere "to pull".[1][2] The first recorded use of the word meaning "an engine or vehicle for pulling wagons or ploughs" occurred in 1901, displacing the earlier term "traction engine" (1859).http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tractor

33. In agriculture, a harrow (often called a set of harrows in a plurale tantum sense) is an implement for breaking up and smoothing out the surface of the soil. In this way it is distinct in its effect fromthe plough, which is used for deeper tillage. Harrowingis often carried out on fields to follow the rough finish left by ploughing operations. The purpose of this harrowing is generally to break up clods (lumps of

soil) and to provide a finer finish, a good tilth or soil structure that is suitable for seedbeduse. Such coarser harrowing may also be used to remove weeds and to cover seed after sowing. Harrows differ fromcultivators in that they disturb the whole surface of the soil, such as to prepare a seedbed, instead of disturbing only narrow trails that skirt crop rows (to kill weeds).http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harrow_(tool)

34. A cultivator is any of several types of farm implement used for secondary tillage. One sense of the name refers to frames with teeth (also called shanks) that pierce the soil as they are dragged through it linearly. Another sense refers to machines that use rotary motion of disks or teeth to accomplish a similar resul

36. A disc harrow is a farm implement that is used to cultivate the soil where crops are to be planted. It is also used to chop up unwanted weeds or crop remainders. It consists of many iron or steel discs whichhave slight concavity and are arranged into two or four sections. When viewed from above, the four sections would

appear to form an "X" which has been flattened to be wider than it is tall. The discsare also offset so that they are not parallel with the overall direction of the implement. This is so they slice the ground they cut over a little bit to optimize the result. The concavity of the discs as well as their being offset causes them to loosen and pick up the soil they cut.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_harrow

37. disk plowdisk plow  or disk,  farm implement employing a row or rows ofconcave circular steel disks that cut and pitch the soil in a waysomewhat similar to a moldboard plow. It can be used in manysituations where the latter will not work, such as dry crusty soil,rough ground, or sticky gumbo. The one-way disk has essentiallyreplaced other plows in areas where wind erosion of the soil is aproblem as it can work the soil without turning it completely over,thus leaving the stu

bble on top for protection. This type of diskcan also be fitted with attachments for seeding small grains.

38. A bench grinder is a type of benchtop grinding machine used to drive abrasive wheels. A pedestal grinder is a larger version of a bench grinder that ismounted on a pedestal, which is bolted to the floor. These types of grinders are commonly used to hand grind cutting tools and perform other rough grinding.

39.  tree chipper or woodchipper is a machine used forreducing wood (generally tree limbs or trunks) into smaller woodchips. They are often portable, being mounted on wheels on frames suitable for towing behind a truck or van. Power is generally provided by an internal combustion engine from 3 horsepower

(2.2 kW) to 1,000 horsepower (750 kW). There are also high power chipper models mounted on trucks and powered by a separate engine. These models usually also have a hydraulic crane.

40. Soil steam sterilization (soil steaming) is a farming technique that sterilizes soil with steam in open fields or greenhouses. Pests of plant cultures such as weeds, bacteria, fungi and viruses are killed through induced hot steam which causes their cell structure to physically degenerate. Biologically, the method is considered a partial disinfection. Important heat-resistant, spore-forming bacteria survive and revitalize the soil after cooling down. Soil fatigue can be cured

through the release of nutritive substances blocked within the soil. Steaming leads to a better starting position, quicker growth and strengthened resistance against plant disease and pests. Today, the application of hot steam is considered the best and most effective way to disinfect sick soil, potting soil and compost. It is being used as an alternative to bromomethane, whose production and use was curtailed by the Montreal Protocol. "Steam effectively kills pathogens by heating the soil to levels that cause protein coagulation or enzyme inactivation.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_steam_sterilization

41. Plastic mulch is a product used, in a similar fashion to mulch, to suppress weeds and conserve water in crop production andlandscaping. Certainplastic mulches also act as a barrier to keep methyl bromide, both a powerful fumigant and ozone depleter, in the soil. Crops grow through slits or holes in thin plastic sheeting. Plastic mulch is often used in conjunction withdrip irrigation. Some research has been

done using different colors of mulch to affect crop growth. This method is predominant in large-scale vegetable growing, with millions of acres cultivated underplastic mulch worldwide each year. Disposal of plastic mulch is cited as an environmental problem; however, technologies exist to provide for the recycling of

used/disposed plastic mulch into viable plastic resins for re-use in the plastics manufacturing industry.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_mulch

42. sprayer is a device used to spray a liquid.In agriculture, a sprayer is a piece of equipment that spraynozzles to apply herbicides, pesticides, and fertilizers to

agricultural crops. Sprayers range in size from man-portable units (typically backpacks with spray guns) to trailed sprayers that are connected to a tractor, to self-propelled units similar to tractors, with boom mounts of 60–151 feetin length. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprayer
