Every craftsperson has a collection of tools in which some tools are in constant use, and where other tools were bought in hope and neglected thereafter. It is the same with garden tools.
Winston Churchill once said "We shall not fail or falter; we shall not weaken or tire...Give us the tools and we will finish the job."
A bad gardener / handyperson will blame their tools, whereas a good gardener / handyperson chooses and looks after them with loving care. Spades and trowls need to be sharpened, and saws should be greased after use. Always oil your secateurs and prunners and stainless steel forks might seem like a good idea but in fact the steel is weaker than in traditional steel forks. To a large extent, Newly developed tools can be looked at with some degree of scepticism - you will beable to garden perfectly well with traditional tools.
Another trap is cheap tools. Im tpdays throw away society, buying cheap toools can be an easy trap to fall into. General stores tend to stock cheap garden tools. Specialist tool retailers also stock more expensive and better quality tools. They are definitely worth paying extra for. Every gardener needs gardening tools .
