Had one for about 15 years and this trowel will last a lifetime, but I accidentally left it in my greenhouse when we moved. So I replaced it with a new one.
Love this trowel! I had(have) a similar trowel that I have years which I thought I had lost, but found after I order three of this trowel because it was the same trowel I had lost and wanted to make sure I had some on hand in case it goes out of production. It took me a number of websites in my search until I found it here. I have tried other trowels that give me blisters, bent or broken using them. Matter of fact just before finding this trowel I had bought a Corona trowel that was $17.00 at one of the big box stores and it broke. So I was so happy to find this trowel again. I would buy it over and over because it is a well designed and strong trowel.
Good size comfortable to use.
I have used this trowel for years. I've worn the old ones down and haven't been able to find a similar product. Saw this in the Leonard catalog. So glad that someone is making them again.
I had owned one of these trowels for 25 years and it was my absolute favorite. It had small dings and cuts after 25 years of use but I loved it. The plastic on the handle had held up beautifully through the years. After I got this trowel, I never saw the need for any other ones. My idiot husband let someone use it at a display garden in a public park and it never came back. Probably the person enjoyed it so much that he let them have it since he thought it was JUST another old tool Men! Much unhappiness followed especially because I couldn't remember where I had gotten it and really couldn't find anything else as simple, strong and beautifully comfortable in the hand. Most cast aluminum tools now days come festooned with strange ergo grips and just don't feel as solid in the hand. I am buying three now so I can hide one for the next time he raids my tool bucket.
