Hi Strands fans. A pretty straightforward one today, once you get the first couple of answers on the board.
With "Tools for the job" I was already thinking garden or household tools, so when I saw SHOVEL in the top-left corner, I immediately grabbed it. With TROWEL right next to it, it was pretty clear this was all about garden tools.
That was confirmed with GLOVES in the bottom right of the grid, and again by RAKE spelled out backwards underneath it. SHEARS followed in the bottom left-hand corner.
I then spotted the spangram: YARDWORK, which snakes across the board from left to right.
There were just two answers left to find, both in the top right-hand corner. TRIMMER seemed pretty obvious, but I'm glad that EDGER was the only answer left, or I'd have struggled to find it. It's just not a product I've come across before (which may explain why my garden is in such a state).
