Each student in the Trees New York Citizen Pruner course received a manual. One of my favorite illustrations in the manual is Figure 3.2 - Tree Care Tools, shown below.
I have a few pairs of Felco hand pruners from my time as a community forester in New Haven. (Also, I own a few dbh* tapes from my time as an urban forester in Boston.) Tools on my wish list: a wire cutter/sheet metal snip, a lopping shear, a folding saw, and a pole pruner.
* dbh = trunk diameter at breast height measured at 4 1/2 feet above the ground.
