Troy-Bilt came out with a line of garden tools this year and I put them to the test. I noticed two things right off the bat: They felt light, but not cheap or lacking in sturdiness. I appreciate tools that have been designed to be light, so long as it doesn’t sacrifice durability and while I can’t say I’ve used these long enough to really test their durability, I didn’t notice anything that made me think they’d be breaking any time soon.
Here’s the other thing I’m liking about these tools: the pricepoint. I’ve written a lot about my favorite tools in the past and I’m not opposed to spending a lot of money on a great tool. For that reason, I’m sometimes reluctant to take my favorite tools outside of my yard. When I garden at one of our master gardener projects I practically bring a dog along to guard my stuff because when you have a dozen people working on one garden at the same time, stuff gets mixed up. These tools are good enough quality to do everything I need them to do but not so precious that I’d cry in my cocktail if I forgot one out in the rain.
Here’s what I tested (and what you can win):
- Comfort Classic Anvil Pruner ($19.99)
- Premium Flower Trowel ($5.99)
- Premium Planting Trowel ($5.99)
- Premium Garden Rake ($5.99)
- Comfort Classic Anvil Lopper ($59.99)

brand new garden calls for new tools, we just bought a house so now seems like the perfec ttime to upgrade
Quality tools! I would even put my name on them so hubby can't use and misplace them!
I love new tools! I am really bad about leaving them laying around though, hence the need for even more tools.
Those lopers are to die for. That is the tool I need. Your dog looks like a big teddy bear. I had a friend who had a Newfie. Loved him.

I need the trowel. I seem to have issues with getting carrots out of the ground.
My favorite is the pruner. Always need more since I keep misplacing mine. Every once in a while, I'll discover a missing one someone in my large garden.
WANT. My favorite is my pruner but I use a cheapo from Lowes. My yard would really enjoy a quality pair. Although I am disappointed that the big fluffy fur ball dog is not included.
Favorite garden tool? Probably my Rogue field hoe, that thing can really power through any weeds in the veg garden! I need a new pruner though, I use that a lot too.
Wow, the Comfort Classic Anvil Pruner looks amazing! I've been looking to replace some of my old, warn out tools for awhile now. Your doggy is adorable 🙂 Thanks for providing this awesome giveaway!
My favorite garden tool is the trowel.
My favorite garden tool is my spade. I'm always adding soil to my potted plants and flower beds, and it comes in quite handy.
My favorite garden tool is a lopper.
My favorite garden tool is this mini hoe that my father-in-law gave me. It probably has a name, but I don't know what else to call it!
My favorite garden tool is a two sided head thing on a sturdy handle with a three-tined fork on one said and a sharp weeder head on the other side.
weed puller tool is my favorite as it makes weeding much easier.

My pruners come in handy the most in my yard.
I could use some new tools. I have a lot of work and cleaning up in my garden to do. Thanks for the chance!
Nice post. Thanks for sharing.
