Any Recomendations For A Good Spatula...

Most of my spatulas are no-name inexpensive ones. Some have a stiffer tip which I like for frosting. Some have a more flexible tip which I like for batter. I like the skinny ones for mixing colors. My Rubbermaid spatulas have stronger handles, so I like them best ... but they are not wooden, they are plastic. I have had very few tips falling off the handles. I live in the USA. There are lots of choices here.
i have some that are from hamilton beech - they are really nice - and they have no glue any have stayed together perfectly for me
i just found these on country kitchen....does anyone use these???

I use the white silicone scoop spatulas from Papmpered chef,I have about 5 of them.The medium one is perfect for mixing and then scooping.The large one I find too big.I bought them from ebay after I got one at a Pampered chef party here and just fell in love with it.
I have a le creuset one with a wooden handle and it never falls off the handle, it's actually hard to pull the handle out so it doesn't get wet. Half the time I wash it with the handle in eventhough you shouldn't.
I have a plastic handle no name (bought it at the grocery store) silicone head spatula and that one doesn't fall apart either. I also have a hoffritz one that has a plastic and stainless handle, had that one for years though so not sure that brand is still around.
The only ones I've had problems with are the dollar store ones, the heads split in hot water sometimes.
I second the pampered chef ones! Love them! They can be used for cooking, up to like 625 degress or something like that. they also don't stain. I wil lnever go without these!! 
I'm cheap and I usually buy cheap ones but then they end up breaking. Lately I've fallen in love with the new wal-mart brand ones. Mine have a clear plastic/silicone handle and red or orange spatula tip, they're like $1.97 or something and are strong and I love em!
Either the Tupperware one (red one!) or the pampered chef. Both garaunteed, and they both stay together. Also heat resistant up to 450. I like the Tupperware one better (not too stiff to me) I think that it is better qaulity, but the PC is awesome too.

The Pampered Chef ones USED to be my faves....that is until I recently bought one of the new Wilton Comfort Grip Spatula's. Their curved shape is PERFECT for getting every little bit of icing from my Kitchen Aid bowls!
Here are the highlights according to the product card:
-Comfortable nylon contoured handle
-Flexible silicone head
-Dishwasher Safe
-Round-edge silicone blade scrapes bowls clean
-Flat edge spreads icing evenly
-Square corner ideal for scraping icing from tub containers
-Ergonomic handle
ding ding! That's correct.
Actually, The first time I noticed it I thought something happened in the dishwasher, the end of the handle was melted.
Then later I figured it out. I use the skinny scraper when I'm melting choc in the micro. Instead of laying the spatula on the counter or a spoon rest, I just left it in the bowl because it's just rubber and plastic.
Anyway, the end of the handle was hear the corner of the microwave--I guess that's where the microwaves come from--they have to come from somewhere!
Anyway, the spatula no longer goes into the micro, and it is still perfectly useable.
