About us

Holden Tool Company is a small, family-run business based in the hills of rural Western Massachusetts. In September of 2022 we changed our name from Howland Tools to Holden Tool Company.

Our range of products are suited for small-scale farmers, gardeners, homesteaders and others who appreciate high-quality tools. We search around the world to fill the gap between treasured, time-tested antiques and inexpensive mass-produced commodities; when you find yourself saying, “they just don’t make tools like this anymore,” take a look at what we have to offer.

Our products are well-made from quality materials, equally designed for effectiveness and ease of use.

For many of our customers the tools they work with are the instruments of their trade… or at least their passion! Over the years we’ve received great feedback on what works and what doesn’t, and our catalog reflects that. Countless products are the result of farmers and gardeners reaching out to find a source for something they haven’t been able to find elsewhere. The majority of our products are made in the USA or Europe.

Our tools are built to last for generations. We strive to carry replacement parts for our tools. As we like to say, “Buy it for life”.

We ship orders promptly to destinations around the world from our stockroom in Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts.
