Extreme newbie needs tools recommendations

I am looking for recommendations for best value in gardening tools,
above Home Depot level but not the absolutely best and priciest. I
already have a good shovel and watering arrangement, but need the
following -
Pruner: At Amazon I shortlisted Coronas. Also found a Bahco for $12
plus shipping.
Folding Hand saw, 5"-7": Felco, Corona, Fiskar, ARS?
Trowel:
Cultivator:
I don't have a short-list in these categories but am awars of brands
like Radius, Fiskar, Corona, Ames, etc.
Thanks for all help.
Re trowel and cultivator I have some that are cast aluminium all through
with a polymer grip. They are very solid, polished and comfortable. These
will not break with sensible use and above all will not rust. They were
cheap about AU$6 each. I have given up on the pressed mild steel with a
coat of paint type that bend and rust. With something like this brand is
not important as you can see what you are getting. I may have to replace
the grip in some years time - nothing is perfect.
