I saw Bunny Guinness using a mini, cordless chainsaw and was intrigued. I have a small cordless garden saw whih is great. I don't really need anything larger. But still, it's interesting.
Two of my best garden tools are a small Honda petrol cultivator and a Mattock this being brilliant for taking out shallow trenches for peas beans etc.
Mattocks are also great for moving big plants and shrubs. It’s much easier to start digging around the root ball with one of these than with a spade. You need the spade eventually, but they do a great job of easily breaking up the soil.
Carmarthenshire (mild, wet, windy). Loam over shale, very slightly sloping, so free draining. Mildly acidic or neutral.

I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
It came about the place for another reason entirely but has become very useful for transplanting seedlings, poking out moss, flicking slugs...
