He Said "Those Big Box Tools Just Don't Hold Up" We Said "Let Us Help"
A cheap shovel is seldom a bargain. When it breaks, you've got an unproductive employee and a job behind schedule.
We're hearing from contractors that the low-grade shovels from the big box stores just don't hold up.  Take action: Inventory your tools and then visit with your MPR representative to choose pro-grade solutions. We offer durable products from brands like Structron, Seymour, Midwest Rake, Kenyon and more.  We can place an order for your spring tool needs including shovels, grading rakes, pruning tools, tampers, sprinkler head trimmers, valve keys, mulch forks, wheelbarrows and much more. We have access to the top contractor brands in the industry and can get you the exact styles and features you need. A pro-grade tool costs a little more, but can last for multiple seasons. That's a smart bargain!
