Know before you buy
Yes, the narrow 1.5-inch blade is specifically designed for confined spaces like containers, window boxes, and crowded flower beds where a standard-width trowel would be too bulky.
The trowel is constructed from high-quality stainless steel, which is naturally rust-resistant. However, for the longest lifespan, we recommend wiping it clean and storing it in a dry place after use.
With an overall length of 10 inches, this tool is ideal for transplanting seedlings and digging small holes for bulbs. Its sharp point helps it penetrate compacted soil effectively.
The trowel features a sharpened edge that is excellent for slicing through small roots and breaking up soil clumps. Please handle it with care, as the tip is quite pointed.
This Wilcox trowel is proudly made in the USA, ensuring robust construction and reliable quality control.
