Buying "the best" Garden tools

[motocephalic]

Earth tools is another good link, with great products like Dewit. Thanks

Earth tools in Kentucky sells a lot of my favorite brands. The Dutch swan-neck hoes are the best I've ever used. If you spilt much wood get a gransfors bruks. I love mine. Felco pruners are great too. There's a company called Heath Forge that makes real nice long-handled digging forks that I like a lot; at 6'2" those short handled spade forks drive me crazy.

thanks for the link, I think I might try one in the future, I have been hauling in buckets and using a hand water device. Not sure if that will cut it all growing season though

Water Right garden hose. Very pricey but made in USA and my 80 year old mom is demanding we switch out all our hoses for them. Do a internet search for them. The 1/2 inch is fine and gives full pressure, very very light,drinking water safe, and once you get them straight they just won't kink.

I've been checking out bully tools Home Page at the local hardware store.
They look very solid, and I need a new digging spade.

I found some nice spades and shovels, bought them to inspect the quality. I was very impressed, I liked the fact that they would not rust, they seem pretty indestructible; Classic Wood-Handled Round Point Shovel | Garden Tools

although I think Bully would be a great tool as well
