I use a certain knife to cut smaller limbs off trees.
And certain BBQ (long handled) tools for gardening,
digging and turning the soil. Heavy duty scissors for pruning
plants. BBQ skewers to poke additional holes in belts.
Bent tined fork to scramble eggs, dig in the garden, turn soil.
(Different forks of course.) ;-)
