Iron, copper or plastic syringer with reservoir (0.250 - 0.5 l), which works by negative pressure: the air jet created by the pump sucks up the liquid and spreads it in very fine droplets. The sprayer is used to moisten the leaves of plants and to apply a pesticide against parasites, fungi, weeds or flies. See also the syringer for flowers. [MOT]

The reaping hook is used in combination with a flemish scythe. It serves to keep the stalks together during the work and to gather the chopped grain into a sheaf. The reaping hook has a curved or straight pointed iron hook (approx. 15-30 cm) that is attached at right angles to a straight wooden handle (approx. 80-100 cm). A slot is usually provided about 10 cm from the end of the handle to insert the blade of the flemish scythe through so that it can be carried over the shoulder. [MOT]

Hammer (400-800 gr) used by the slater when covering or repairing a slate roof. It is a composite tool that has a pointed end on one side - which punch holes for the nails in the slates - and on the other side a hammer end that drives the slate nails into the wood. In the middle, between the two ends, there may be a pear-shaped cutout with which nails can be pulled out. Another possibility is that there is a protrusion with a V-shaped cutout at the top. Between the working part and the hammer handle there is - on one or both sides - a sharp side with which the slates are cut to size. This is done with the help of a slater's stake. [MOT]
