Are golden tools worth it?

No. They don't last long enough and require a gold nugget. It's far easier to customize a tool when it's damaged, or simply get some sticks, and use iron from your inventory to make a new one. If you're rich, just buy them at Nook's Cranny. The tools always make you more money than they cost.
 
The only thing worth it to me personally is the Golden Watering can

You just have to water your black roses once for them to be able to produce golden roses
Besides that they're not really worth since you cant repair glitch them by customizing them like you are able to with the other non golden tools
 
I saw someone on Reddit say it was worth to make at least one, to get the Nook Miles for it, but in terms of cost vs durability, not worth it!
 
I personally think they're worth it. Not only do they last the longest (not counting customizing to 'fix' tools), they're also a form of status that says "I did this!"

That alone makes them worth it to me.

They cannot be customized, and their durability compared to iron is not worth a gold nugget.
 
The only one I would ever really be interested in crafting is the Gold Watering Can, to be able to acquire Gold Roses. As others throughout the thread have said, though, I might have to force myself to craft one of each of them all at some point in the future just to get the Nook Miles. That said, I'd probably only feel comfortable doing this after amassing a stockpile, where the blow wouldn't hurt as much.

You don't need the gold watering can for gold roses. They spawn on their own.

I think we can all agree that they are only worth the Nook Mile Goal lol
 
I guess it's worth noting that the tools all cost 1 golden nugget. So, the real question is...are the golden tools worth the bell equivalent of a golden nugget (10,000 bells)? In the long run, 10k isn't much once you've established yourself in the game. So...theoretically, the tools might be worth that price, just to put a hold on the annoyance of replacing them as often. Then again...golden nuggets are somewhat hard to come by. Maybe you'll get one or two in a day if you travel to a few islands. They're certainly not something that you're collecting in bulk. So...you probably want to keep those for crafting other things that you might want gold for. *Shrug*

I would value a gold nugget significantly higher than 10k bells though. I don't think the bell amount they sell for is a good indicator of their true value in terms of how rare they are relative to something else

I don't really care about the durability and such... I'm only commenting that I think they're worth it to me. I enjoy them as a "status" item, which makes them worth it to me.
 
It's not worth it to me. The material is too uncommon to make them worth it for them to just break
 
To me the watering can seems like the only one worth building because it can water 9 spaces instead of 6.
 
I really like the gold watering can. Other than that, I don't care enough about the others to craft them.

TBH, I get along just fine with a flimsy fishing rod or flimsy net most of the time.
