You can often find this type of thing at local "Rastro" markets, old farming tools and artefacts.

Most ferreterias sell the 'hand tools'. But they won't be cheap. Think 20 euro each for the heads, and 5 euros for each handle. At least, and thats not branded.

I've got mostly bellota hand tools, but I've started buying some things from bricomart.

If you buy in the chino, they probably won't last cos they are made of cheese.

If you are thinking of using them for display you can find them at most antique fairs, car boot sales, secondhand outlets.
They are not cheap as they are now in demand by the well heeled Spanish community who like to also display them as memories of their not too distant past when their poor ancestors lived off the land.
