A US-made, one-piece stainless trowel that pros trust for a lifetime. The unbendable neck and etched depth marks make it the best hand trowel for planting bulbs and transplanting in demanding soil.
Pros
- One-piece stainless build has no neck to bend or snap, so it survives prying in rocky soil
- Sharp pointed blade with etched depth markings makes bulb and transplant depth repeatable
- Stainless steel shrugs off rust and cleans with a wipe, unlike coated budget trowels
Cons
- Costs 3-4x a big-box trowel, so it stings for occasional light use
- Narrow 14 in blade is a scooping trowel, not a wide bedding transplanter
- Metal handle offers less cushioning than foam grips during long planting sessions
