A pruning device includes a blade mounting jaw and an opposing jaw. A blade is removably mounted on a blade mounting portion of the blade mounting jaw to cut vegetation positioned between the jaws as the jaws are closed. A blade retainer is movable between a blade retaining and blade releasing positions with respect to the blade mounting portion and has a forward blade engaging portion. In its blade retaining position, the blade retainer secures the blade to the blade mounting portion. A forward edge portion of the blade is received between the forward blade engaging portion and the blade mounting portion. A rearward blade engaging structure and the blade mounting portion support a rearward portion of the blade. In its releasing position, the blade retainer releases the blade for replacement. Grip portions are operatively connected to the jaws to open and close the jaws.

Pruning device

A hose hanger apparatus includes a hose supporting body and a hose retainer. The hose supporting body has mounting structure to enable the hose supporting body to be mounted to a wall in an operative position in which a hose supporting surface faces generally upwardly and extends outwardly from the wall. The hose retainer is movable between retaining and releasing positions. In its retaining position, the hose retainer extends upwardly adjacent the hose supporting surface in spaced relation from the wall to inhibit the upper portion of the coiled hose from moving off the hose supporting surface without first raising the hose to a height sufficient to vertically clear the hose retainer. In its releasing position, the hose can be removed from or mounted onto the hose supporting surface without the need for first raising the hose to a height sufficient to vertically clear the hose retainer.
