FWIW, I use straight forceps for planting and fiddling with leaves, including minor pruning, and curved forceps for weeding, they just seem easier for me. I use Crile forceps. I also use serrated bandage scissors for some cutting jobs--cutting a plastic pot off of a rootbound plant, opening bags, etc. They're not my first choice for actual bandage, but I like them for gardening (and clipping bird wings).
I also like this gigantor screwdriver that my father gave me, I use it for weeding or miscellaneous prying or hole-poking.
I use a basket made for silverware for my smallish hand tools--Sharpie marker, chopsticks, forceps, pen knife, etc.
