I understand the Iworkx was working on tools like that with a  battery that 
would last up to 4 hours but don't know if it made it onto the  market yet.

Spring  Greetings, Everyone!

As I'm waiting more impatiently each day for  spring to arrive in northwest 
Ct, I realize I need to replace my garden shoes  and dying clippers. I have 
been more than satisfied with Muck Shoes for many  years but am wondering 
if there are better closed shoes that anyone can  recommend. I don't like 
clogs or high boots for a variety of reasons.  Suggestions anyone?

The second item I need to replace are cordless  clippers. These are the 
ones that usually come with an interchangeable hedge  shear. I use these 
clippers to quickly deadhead and trim back a variety of  plants throughout the 
growing season. The newer ones are powered with Lithium  batteries and are 
normally sold as "grass shears." I've read the reviews of  the newer models and 
the Gardena brand seems to be the most popular (and  expensive) of the 
current offerings. I'm willing to pay up if the product will  hold a charge for 
more than an hour and will recharge quickly, etc. Again, I'm  hoping to get 
feedback from those of you who will share your experience and  opinion of 
same.

Lastly, can anyone recommend how to get spring to  hurry up and get here, 
PLEASE???

Thanks, as always.
