      A good question as my van is usually overloaded with uneccessary tools but my go to most versatile tools are . 

      1. A pair of vintage rolcut mini loppers picked up for 50p at a car boot , cost about 1 p to repair with a new spring washer , ideal as secateurs , cut slightlly thicker dia branches . 

      2. Burgon and Ball lawn weed knife , great for removong perrennial weeds from a lawn but my most versatile tool , cuts through turf , weeds between paving cracks , teases out weeds from borders , slices through bramble on account of its sharp serrated edge , stays sharp for ages . 

      3. Swift cordless mower x 3 batteries and charger 

      4 .Darlac hand shears 

      5 .Burgon and Ball transplanting spade   

      If i rescued the above from a flood or fire i could still make some money to live on 

       

    1. Stiga 740 Pwx
    2. John Deere Z535m
    3. Stihl FSA 130
    4. Stihl HSA 86
    5. Easy Lift Harness. – The huge difference that this one piece of equipment makes to working is difficult to overstate. Basically you are hedge cutting with a weightless hedge cutter. I could never now even contemplate working without it. It is a life changing device.
