The AMES Companies

AMES is one of the oldest hand-powered landscaping consumer brands in the United States.

From its founding in a blacksmith shop in 1774, The AMES Companies have grown into a global family of brands marketed through major retailers in the U.S., Canada and Australasia.

Today we continue to build on the AMES legacy of providing quality tools for big tasks, whether that means creating a backyard oasis for the family and friends of laying the foundation for a skyscraper. Through quality craftsmanship and inspired innovation, we have established leading positions across numerous product categories.
