Know before you buy
Yes, the Wilcox 10" trowel is crafted from durable stainless steel, making it robust enough to handle tough soil conditions and rocky ground without bending.
Absolutely. Its narrow 2-inch width and sharp, pointed tip are specifically designed to help you dig precise plugs or small holes, which is ideal for retrieving targets while minimizing damage to the surrounding area.
The trowel is made from rust-resistant stainless steel, which holds up well against moisture. However, for the longest lifespan, we recommend wiping it clean and storing it in a dry place after use.
The smooth stainless steel surface is designed for easy maintenance. Simply rinse the blade with water and wipe it down with a cloth to remove dirt and debris.
The trowel features a minimalist, ergonomic design focused on utility. While it is lightweight and efficient, it is best suited for targeted digging tasks rather than heavy-duty, all-day excavation.
