Used to be that TrueTemper was quality. I've not had to keep up except I've noticed a real decline in gardening and snow shoveling "excuses" for tools out on the shelves. China does supply some sorry excuses for tools, thanks to our chasing business off-shore.
Good luck.

I would say that if I buy tools now, it is from McMaster Carr online.

Check out the Fiskars selection.

Hand operated post hole diggers normally don't impress me too much unless I'm leaning on them but theirs did. They were my son in-laws and I made sure he took them back home.:laughing:

Lee Valley tools out of Ottawa Canada has some real top notch equip. I purchased a scythe from them (mail order) and they were a pleasure to deal with, plus they sent all their catalogues and wow they have some beautiful woodworking tools plus old fashioned toys etc. It's worth it just to get the catalogues.

I like my Corona tools. I got them at a gardening store that has since done bankrupcy and the surviving stores are not around me. https://www.coronatoolsusa.com/

Lowes carries some Corona tools, but they may be "consumer" rather than "pro" quality.

Shop Lawn & Garden : Garden Tools : Pruning & Trimming : Corona at Lowes.com
