I have gone through many trowels in my gardening career. The reason? The handles break and/or bend, they are not strong enough or poorly made. This aluminum trowel is rust proof and the handle will never break because it is solid all the way through. Good job A.M. Leonard!
I haven't yet used it as a transplanter, but it is handy just as a trowel. My favorite trowel disappeared and I needed a replacement.
I really like this product! Being a landscaper, I go through trowels alot. This one is very comfortable to use for an extended period of time. My crew tends to break the tips often, especially in our rocky soils, but this one has remained intact and not chipped. Love the inch marks; it really helps when you are planting bulbs and seeds. Overall a great little tool and I will be buying more.
comfortable handle, built to last, performs well
I have small, slightly arthritic hands and this is very comfortable to use. It is light but still very sturdy. I like being able to hang it. The numbers are easy to read. If it holds up for several years, I'll give it 5 stars.
