Sorry mate haven't a clue!!

The only 'brands' I know are Spear and JAckson, and those Garden Claw things from the telly. Haven't a clue whether either are any good or not!

No idea about the good quality, but Wolf Power is at least sensible with it's handle-switching abilities (takes up less space in the shed/garage).

I bought Gardena stuff as it's on sale here, but you have to unscrew to change handles rather than just pressing a clip - can be a bit of a *** TBH.

I tend to lean toward spear & jackson and wilk sword for the hand tools, good quality stuff at reasonable prices. Never broken a wilk or spear spade!

Felco make the best secateurs, Silky make the best pruning saws, spades / forks etc all pretty much of a muchness (stainless steel obviously), generally the more it costs the better made it is.

As has been said, Spear & Jackson for hand tools, Hayter for machinery (that'll start a hate campaign) and probably Stihl for power tools.
