Know before you buy

The 16-gauge stainless steel blade is engineered for rugged use and resists bending, making it much more capable than standard trowels when working in heavy clay. However, while it is robust, it is still a hand tool; use caution when prying against large, immovable rocks to avoid excessive strain.
