Know before you buy
Forged carbon steel is significantly denser and stronger than stamped metal, meaning it is much less likely to bend or snap when you are digging into compacted or rocky soil. This construction method creates a tool that holds its edge longer and withstands heavy-duty use over many seasons.
Yes, the rubberized handle is designed to provide a secure, non-slip grip that reduces the amount of pressure needed to hold the tool firmly. The ergonomic shape helps minimize hand fatigue during longer planting sessions.
Because carbon steel is susceptible to oxidation, it is best to wipe the blade clean and dry it thoroughly after every use. Applying a light coat of oil before storing it in a dry place will help protect the metal from rust and keep it in top condition.
Thanks to its forged construction, this trowel is robust enough for most garden tasks, including digging through tough soil and transplanting perennials. While it is a durable tool, it is still a hand trowel, so it is best suited for precision work rather than large-scale excavation.
This Tierra Garden DeWit trowel is Dutch-crafted in the Netherlands, a region known for its long-standing tradition of high-quality tool manufacturing and metallurgy.
