This makes planting out a heck of a lot easier! Very robust and a great aid if you find bending or kneeling a chore but love gardening. Great item. Can recommend.

Herramienta perfecta para usar al plantar flores en macetas. El mango extralargo evita estiramientos innecesarios del brazo en bordes profundos. Recomiendo esta herramienta.

If you plant annuals or 1 gallon plants, you will LOVE this shovel!!! I start with a pitch fork to break up my woodland ground and then use the shovel to continue. I'm 84. This little shovel is a life saver for me. I step on the shovel to dig just the right size hole and I'm there. You'll be so very happy if you spend the money to buy this little shovel. I planted 12 vinca/perriwinkle plants this morning in an hour.

Take it from one who has bent a few of the cheaper trowels, this new one from Spear & Jackson is a winner. I always resisted buying more expensive trowels and opted for the cheaper ones, but after wearing out another one, it was time to try a higher end trowel.Here are the pro's for this trowel:- The blade of the trowel is a heavy, carbon / ferritic stainless, which means it will be magnetic, and also means it is hardened / tempered more than classic austenitic stainless (which is non-magnetic). The blade is very thick and it would take a lot of force to bend it.- The ferrule on the trowel is affixed very well to the hardwood handle, and I cannot detect any play in it - it is not loose and feels it will not fall off like many cheaper tools with ferrules. It is dimpled on two sides where it joins to ensure it stays in place.- The neck of the trowel is a one-piece construction with the blade, and is not welded like some, so there is no joint to fail under force. Additionally, the neck appears to be epoxied? into the wood handle and should be durable.- Finally, the wood handle is recessed toward the middle, making a good fit for smaller hands (like my wife's). The handle appears to be made out of white oak which will make it very water resistant (red oak is not).The con's - can't think of any at this point - but let's see how it holds up under repeated use over time. I will update at a later date if need be.We tested it out today, and it feels great in the hand, and has a lot of staying power and it cuts through the hard AZ dirt well.Overall a five star trowel, I would recommend it to anyone! Not cheap, but quality rarely is. We were going to get a Lee Valley trowel for $5 more, but I think we will be more than happy with this one! 5 stars!Thanks for reading!

This is a sturdy and solid trowel that is good looking to boot! The stainless steel has fared well in my garden's hard clay and rocky soil. I tend to abuse my tools and wrench and pry entrenched stones and roots with it so I'm glad to say that there is little evidence of deformation or rusting at all on the item. The blade is stout and the weld seems secure. The finish of the wooden handle is nice and comfortable to hold with no wiggling of any kind thus far. The leather lanyard is convenient for hanging the tool but not good for much else; it can easily be removed if desired. Overall, it is a substantial tool that feels good in the hand without being too hefty and tiresome to use.5/5 - I love it.

After going through several steel trowels over the years that rusted, I was on the hunt for a stainless steel one.Spear & Jackson's trowell is beautifully made and well crafted. This trowel is not a flimsy thin steel, but a substantial piece of stainless.I like the handle angle, as it affords an ergonomic feel. The wood handle is smooth and has a comfortable shape.This is such a wonderful tool to work the garden that, that it is my go to tool for potting and cleaning out garden beds.
