Know before you buy

Yes, the pricker is specifically engineered for delicate work. Its compact size and precision tip provide the control needed to handle tiny root systems with minimal disturbance.

The pricker measures 8.60 inches in total length and weighs only 1.75 oz. Its lightweight, ergonomic design makes it easy to maneuver during repetitive tasks like thinning or pricking out large batches of seedlings.
While optimized for seedlings, the tool is also useful for precision weeding in tight spaces or for planting small bulbs and plugs in containers where a standard trowel would be too bulky.
