Hi all, hope your enjoying your day...

I was just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for some new garden tools, I have cleared my shed out of the cheap rubbish I had before and I'm looking to purchase some tools which will last! My local garden center has a good selection, but I just thought I'd see if anyone has any advice!

Thanks in advance,
Jason

good day, Jason, madgardener here. For some of the best quality
tools, go to the website, Lee Valley Tools (I think it's
leevalleytools.com) and check out their VERY good tools that last
decades. to get your money's worth, you have to spend some. Also,
Sears has lifetime guaranteed garden tools. if it breaks
(trowels,spades, etc) they replace it no questions, no conditions.
Craftsman tools are good

hope this helps a lot.

Lee Valley and Sears are okay, but they're still stuck in the past with the
same old-same old neanderthal tools... I think Fiskars.com produces certain
tools that are much better engineered. Sometimes one needs a strong hard
working neanderthal tool, but sometimes one needs a tool that will get the
job done with minimal effort... not every hammering job requires a sledge.

But really, if one asks about which gardening tools, they need to list which
tools specifically and for which specific tasks, only then can folks suggest
intelligent choices.

If one is really good you can make it sing.


Slice and dig and pry
Pop it up and sing
Time for a stout
Then move about.

In the UK there is acompany called Billington tools. They manufacture and export a range of digging tools . Worth considering are the digging hoes. They make using a spade like something out of the ark. The nice thing about them is that there is no levering to lift the soil which is a b***** for back ache. Thy are used all over the world and I cannot understand why we in the UK just havent cottoned on to them. Billington sell on line. There are no other outlets in the UK.

Hello, excuse my post here - it is for a college class assignment. I
am a beginner gardener and don't have any good advice for you on the
tools! I do appreciate the opportunity to learn from what others are
posting to your question.

For forks and spades, I'd recommend Spears and Jackson implements that were
made when Britain still had a decent steel industry - you can't beat them
for longevity and quality.

I have several Sears-brand garden tools, bow rake, shovels, pitch
fork, etc. No complaints, all are very good quality that has served
me many years. It helps to take care of any tool. Once a year
sometime during the winter I sharpen then wipe the metal parts with
kerosene rag to ward off rust
