Having the hammer and sickle as your country's symbols seems kind of dodgy when your hammers aren't even sufficient for pounding sand. I visit yard and estate sales and buy old US made hand and garden tools - ones with good steel alloys and minimal/no plastic parts. If you go to a hardware store, you can buy a new cheap as fuck shovel made in China for say $15 - the shovel bit is stamped from garbage steel, isn't tempered and will fold like a paper doll under the lightest load, while the handle (made from some weak-ass punky wood) will splinter within a few days. Or you can go one aisle over and buy a replacement hickory handle made in the USA for say $20, fit it to an old tempered shovel bit salvaged from a farm sale for $10 and you're rocking a kickass and functional shovel that will give excellent service for years to come. I choose the latter path.
