1. Shovel

via PredatorTools® Model 22 - Ultra Phantom - Shovel

Shovels make it easy to remove soil, and move around different materials, such as dirt, gravel, and snow.  To find out which shovel is best for you, read this article.

PredatorTools® makes their digging tools and shovels in the USA.  It's important to note that their tools are used by the United States military.  Other industries also include forensics, archaeology, and search and rescue.

2. Tool Bag

Having a bag that holds your gardening tools helps keep things organized.  This bag by Garrett Wade was made intentionally to be large enough to fit the most used tools, but not too large that it becomes a junk drawer of sorts.  It is hand-sewn by master leather-workers, so each one has its own unique look.

3. Lopper

Loppers offer gardeners another option to saws and pruning shears.  They cut through thicker branches and stems. Both hands are required to use them, versus pruning shears that can be held in one hand.  The anodized aircraft aluminum provides heavy-duty construction to reinforce stability with more challenging gardening projects.

4. Wheelbarrow

via Home Depot: True Temper Wheelbarrow

Wheelbarrows help transport fertilizer, mulch and other gardening materials throughout the yard.  This one has a flat-free tire, steel tray and steel handles.

True Temper makes the tray in the USA, with the rest of the wheelbarrow being made from global materials and assembled in the USA.

5. Garden Hoe

via Amazon: Bully Tools 12-Gauge Garden Hoe

Hoes assist you in weeding your garden, sowing seeds, and preparing the garden soil.

Bully Tools make their tools from 100% American-made steel.  The powdered coat finish helps prevent rusting.

Conclusion

Finding garden tools made in the USA may pose a challenge, but with challenge comes change.  

☝How will YOU be part of the change?

Always remember: Nobody appreciates you and your business more than the people behind the made in the USA name!
