One factory in Steubenville
Bully Tools says "All of our products and product materials are made right here in the USA, and assembled by American workers." The work happens in house at its Steubenville, Ohio plant: robotic welding, metal forming and stamping, plasma cutting, heat treating and tempering, injection molding and powder coating. Bully makes more than 100 products there.
We found no imported Bully Tools line. That covers the 14-gauge round point, square point and shingle shovels, the spading forks, the cultivators and the mason and garden hoes.
From Pittsburgh to the Ohio Valley
Mark Gracy, the company's president, founded Bully Tools in 1994 in a 1,500 square foot space in Pittsburgh. In 2006 the company built its factory in Steubenville, about 35 miles west of Pittsburgh. A 2024 local news report covered plans to expand the plant.
Why the gauge number matters
Bully lists the steel gauge in each tool's name: 14-gauge for its round point, square point and shingle shovels, 12-gauge for its mason and garden hoes. A lower gauge number means thicker steel, so compare the number when you need a tool that will pry at roots, clay or broken concrete.
