Know before you buy
Unlike a traditional trowel, this tool features a dual-edge design with a serrated side for sawing through tough roots and a sharp slicing edge for dividing perennials. Its narrow, sturdy blade allows you to perform precise tasks like weeding and bulb planting in tight spaces where a wider trowel would be cumbersome.
Yes, the blade is constructed from high-quality Swedish stainless steel and is engineered to withstand over 300 pounds of pressure. It is designed to handle significant leverage without bending or breaking, making it suitable for tough gardening conditions.
The blade features etched depth markings that allow you to measure the depth of your planting hole instantly as you dig. This ensures you are placing bulbs or seedlings at the exact depth recommended for optimal growth.
The handle is ergonomically designed with a thumb rest and a wider safety guard to provide a secure, non-slip grip. While it is built for durability, the molded composite material is shaped to fit comfortably in most hand sizes, offering good control during repetitive tasks.
While the Swedish stainless steel is highly rust-resistant, it is best practice to wipe the blade clean and dry it after use to maintain its edge and appearance. Because it is a high-quality steel, it will hold its sharpness longer than standard carbon steel tools.
