Know before you buy
The Wilcox 10" trowel features a fine, sharp point and narrow blade profile that allows you to work in tight spaces without disturbing the roots of surrounding plants. Its design is specifically optimized for precision tasks like transplanting shallow-rooted succulents.
Yes, the blade features long, sharpened side cutting edges that help slice through small roots and compacted soil. While it is excellent for precision work, it is best suited for light cultivation rather than heavy-duty digging in rocky ground.
The blade is constructed from high-quality stainless steel, which is naturally rust-resistant. However, for the longest lifespan, we recommend wiping the blade clean and storing it in a dry place after use.
This is a transplanting trowel with a 10-inch total length, so it is designed for shallow, precise work rather than deep excavation. It is best used for planting small bulbs, seedlings, or lifting delicate perennials.
Because the blade is made of durable stainless steel, it holds an edge well under normal gardening conditions. If it eventually dulls, you can touch up the sharpened edges with a standard metal file or sharpening stone.
