Know before you buy
The steam-bent ash handle is ergonomically shaped to provide better leverage and comfort. It reduces wrist strain during repetitive planting tasks, making it easier to maintain a natural hand position whether you are kneeling or seated.
The stainless steel spike has a head length of 4.68 inches, which serves as your maximum planting depth. This is ideal for most standard flower bulbs and large seeds.
No, the tool is made from high-quality stainless steel, which is inherently corrosion-resistant. It is designed to withstand contact with moist soil, though we recommend wiping it clean and dry after each use to maintain its condition.
Yes, the finely sharpened, pointed tip is designed to penetrate firm soil with minimal effort. However, if your soil is extremely compacted or rocky, you may need to clear debris first to ensure the spike can reach its full depth.
To keep the ash handle in good shape, store the tool in a dry place and avoid leaving it out in the rain. Periodically applying a light coat of linseed oil can help nourish the wood and prevent it from drying out over time.
