I don't know. You will prob have to find a big company to get cheap tools. I go to Walmart a lot. You might can search the internet, you might find some deals right now because of 4th of July sales. Sears mabie.

We went back and started buying from them also.......seem to have some better quality stuff. The Home Depot/Lowes stuff is going into the tank including those yellow plastic handles on shovels etc.

For certain tools I do find the Ridgid and Fiskars brands to be of a pretty good
quality, on the other hand I don't feel like paying $20 for a $3 tool either.
And I've gotten cheap stuff and expensive stuff, sometimes the pricey ones definitely last longer, other times it's all the same.

But you can do like I did and research this, too, and I hate to be like this but once it COSTS you what it cost me
to figure out this nonsense, perhaps it might be that folks will respect the information for what it is, instead of
taking every answer for granted, no offense intended.

Because, and I'm guilty too...
When it comes easy, it fails to be respected for what it is, we as humans tend to abuse information that came along
too easy, when in reality it cost someone else years of time and money and a lot of sweat and tears and frustration.
This in turn results in cockiness, arrogance, which is all right until it happens in front of a customer,
hope you guys can see where I'm coming from.

So, buy some of each, don't overspend, trial and error, when you find a good tool for little money you remember that
and yes I find doing it the hard way sucks but I also feel the reward is better in the end.

Peace

I go to a small feed/farm store for all my tools. I get anywhere between 10%-20% off all of my purchases.

Most trimming/pruning tools I have are Fiskars.

Most digging tools, etc in my collection are Razorback.

And I have a few other brands, maybe what was on sale, or what looked to be built well.

And I will NEVER buy another fiberglass shovel, lol.

why no fiberglass?!?

We've had great luck with the ridgid tools from H.D. I went through the trial and error phase and then found these. With a life time warranty, the $20-$25 is well worth it.

Can't pry with a fiberglass shovel.

Rakes and stuff like that are okay, I guess.

But shovels...I like wood.
