Bend-Proof Garden Trowel - Heavy Duty Polished Stainless Steel - Rust Resistant Oversized Garden Hand Shovel for Quicker Work - Digs Through Rocky/Heavy soils - Comfort Grip (1)

seems to be very sturdy so hopefully will be ideal to use in the garden

Have hard pack soil. No problems digging with this trowel

This is one tough trowel! I broke my old one and needed a replacement so I started looking at the options on Amazon. This one caught my eye and the price was right so I decided to give it a try. Yes, it is stainless so I don't have to worry about it rusting like my old one. The handle is cushioned enough that I can use it in really hard soil and still maintain my grip and not hurt my hands. The blade is just the right width. Not too wide - that would make digging in tough soil difficult. Not too narrow, so I can really move a goodly amount of soil with each scoop. This is excellent for all common garden tasks - potting up plants, digging in plants, light cultivating, etc. The only negative I can think of is that it is made in China. Too bad we can't make something like this at a decent price in the US. Still, it is the best trowel I've ever used.

Cheaper tools will bend and break. This one doesnt.

I've had this tool for awhile. Was using it again today and thought to myself that I only take the time to leave a review when I'm not happy with a product. This is a quality product for a good price and thought it was worth my time to let others know. Stainless steel, sturdy and comfortable. Don't have to worry about the handle bending from stressing it too much. Just a really good product and not over-priced. As soon as I got the first one and felt it after unpackaging it I immediately ordered another one as I thought a quality product like this would certainly rise in price and in case I mistakenly left my first one out in the weather (I hate myself when I do that.) and lost it or ruined it I wanted to have a back-up.
