Side by Side Comparison of: Fiskars vs Yacoto

Nice surprise! These tools are inexpensive, well made, sturdy, and useful. Vendor got them to me well packaged, properly addressed and quickly. They look like they'll hold up satisfactorily for years. Handles are just the right length to easily accomodate most hands in a way you'll have a good sturdy, comfortable grip. Warmly recommend both vendor and product.

Very comfortable handles, and they work very well. We have very clay heavy and rocky soil (gravel all the way up to 10+ lbs rocks), but have not had any problems with these. These have had to take some punishment and have not punished my hands much in return. I'm very happy with these

Great tools. They feel very sturdy and are comfortable to hold. I love that the skinnier trowel has a ruler on it so you know how deep you're planting seeds, since many seeds have specific depths at which you're supposed to plant them.

These are a pleasure.The ones I had were either weak and bent easily, or old with cracked handles.These are sturdy, ship quickly, and the handles are flat on top allowing extra weight to be put on them without injury to hands!

I love these garden tools! They're so sturdy and the grips are very comfortable. I used them this fall to plant some seeds for next spring, and they worked very well. The wider spade has less of a point at the end, and is good for digging in soft dirt. The smaller spade has more of a point and measurements stamped into it -- up to 4 inches or 10cm, and I used it more for digging into harder areas and getting out some tough weeds. I previously had a plastic spade that was handed down to me, and the difference in that and these metal ones is incredible. The plastic one is so feeble, and these new ones feel like they will last a long time. I have a pair of Fiskars clippers and a pair of their loppers, and they're both great, which is why I chose the brand.

What can I say? Bought my mother a whole assortment of Fiskars gardening supplies and she takes REAL good care of them all. She's always using them and saying how much better they are than the cheaper home depot versions. Night and day when she uses them (quality wise).

I really dig my new garden tools. Very sturdy and look like they will be able to take the beating like my other tools have. I like the grip on the handle; can't wait to use them.

Fantastic and durable is how I would describe this set...

Excellent value, well crafted. Its almost like a 4 for 1 deal with this.

Good feeling, non slip handles. The metal is heavy enough not to bend in hard ground. You can hook all 3 tools together to hang up as a set.

These are a great high quality product but the first set I received had a broken rake. I returned it which was fine just inconvenient then received another one. I have used the tools a few times now and they are working well.

so far, no complaints. the grippy rubber handles feels good. Good enough grip to really drive the tools into hard dirt. they all function as expected and I haven't managed to break any yet (other tools would often snap in half). Haven't claimed against their warranty, but hoping it's a quality life time warranty.

I love this 3 piece garden tool set, it's very comfortable to work with in my garden. Sturdy construction, easy to handle, no splinters, or blisters when using for a long time, digs into the ground with ease. I would highly recommend this product, it's strong, made very well, and looks like it will last for years to come. The best garden tool set I have ever purchased.

I bought this as a gift for my mother who loves to garden, and taking a cue from the fact that I've never had a bad pair of Fiskars scissors, I went with the same brand. After some brief testing outside, I found that all three tools are high quality and feel good in the hand. The handles are comfortable and easy to grip. Nothing about the tools feels cheap or low quality.I paired this up with a Fiskars 9921 Pruning Snip and together both purchases turned out to be a really good Christmas gift!

I bought these "used--like new" and truthfully the previous owner had not even made his way through the hard plastic shell wrapping them. Perhaps they were frightened by the sticker from the State of California warning that some of the materials used were known to cause cancer. You will have to decide for yourself if your level of use would put your health at risk. For average use, I'm not worried.The tools are ruggedly constructed and comfortable in the hand--delivered very promptly and I used one today.

Very useful for planting small plants.

This set of garden tools has easy-to-grip rubberized handles that fit my small hands well. The more comfortable handles cause fewer blisters and are less likely to be dropped even when wet. The set consists of four items: a large spade, a small spade, a hoe, and the prong tool used to lever weeds up by their roots (or aerate the soil). Both the hoe and the prying tool have widely-spaced prongs (too much so in my opinion). The metal of the blades has an anti-corrosion coating. Their handles have a hole in the end for hanging up in the tool shed. They are quite sturdy, though the blades would be of more use to me in our rocky mountain soil if they were sharper. I've enjoyed preparing my flowerbeds for winter with this set of garden tools.I was provided this product in exchange for my honest opinion, and my words are my own.

Arrived as described!

the handles slip somewhat-okay

A good set of tools, beware as they do break rather easily, esp. if you put too much pressure on the "shaft" of any of the tools. They were very good about replacing the broken tool right away.

Good value ... but the rake arrived with the middle tine broken off. Not sure how durable these tools will be!

We ordered some heavy bags of potting soil at the same time as this garden tool set expecting to use these tools to help in planting. Received the heavy bags much sooner than these tools. They didn't send out in the next few days after we ordered them but we finally received them a few days after they finally sent them out (per email). The tools are very nice but would appreciate a quicker sending out.

After receiving this item I went into my flower garden to break them in. After the second hole the large spade broke off at the handle. Needless to say it didn't meet my full expectations.

Shaft on "transplanter" snapped at the handle joint.

Blade too thick can't really get a good edge and one of the fork tines broke while husband was trying to get the dang things out of the package. I need a sharp edged trowel to break thru the blackjack dirt in my beds...this one is not it.

Was looking for a heavy-duty set of garden tools, as I have a lot of rocks to get out/around. I thought these tools would handle it, but was let down. Trying to use the spade to get a mostly dug-out rock, the tip broke off without even prying that much. After that, it would just keep snapping pieces off everytime I tried to use it after. Looks good, that is about it.

the first day I had it and was digging and planting in my garden the main shovel broke in half at the neck I am more careful now but it was very low quality material and split way to fast and way way to easy

I wasn't using it too hard and kept it out in the sun for roughly only 1 month. Next time I used the cultivator, it broke as I was trying to dig out some weeds with it. The trowel (without the measuring lines) also broke quickly (within another month of use) but that was partly my fault as I was exerting a bit too much force to dig away at some hardened clay-like soil. Only item still working is the trowel with the measuring lines.

So, having read all of the amazing reviews on these garden tools, and hoping to get into a little gardening for the first time this year, I decided to make the purchase. However, as I was opening the package, one of the tines on the Cultivator snapped off. I have yet to ask for a replacement or return these, but I did not expect to have a broken set of tools before I even hit the dirt. Besides the breakage, the tools themselves seem well-made, which makes the break even that much more puzzling.

Broke during opening of package! Packed such that the prongs of the fork are pushed into holes in the handles of the other 2 implements. Pulled the fork from the holes and one prong immediately snapped off! Horribly brittle material

This is not the original. I have other tools of this brand. But what I got is a fake. The paint is an annoyance throughout the subject. Very poor quality

Used this shovel set for the first time today and the handle snapped and broke off during digging of weeds. The materials are cheap and unfortunately went straight to the trash. Very disappointed and can't recommend this to anybody.

Terrible quality! Received the order the first time with one piece broken -- it was replaced, but then another piece just broke yesterday. I have never had this type of tools break like this! Do not bother! bad, bad, bad!Good customer service though .... that is why I am giving them ONE star.

Second time I used it, literally broke apart in my hands. Unfortunately, I bought it during the winter in anticipation of springtime, and now cant return it! I have been gardening for years and have never had a tool literally break apart in my hands.

Hand-Rake broke while removing it from the packaging. One of the 3 arms just broke off. I would not expect this to perform well if up against roots or rocks. Probably fine if you're using it in wet loose soil where there's no resistance. Usually love Fiskars stuff because of the quality but the metal here is super low-end. Stay away from this set!Fiskars definitely lowered their quality to boost profit margins on this one.
