Customer Reviews:

Good quality Trowel [Posted on 2005-09-09]
I purchased the Fiskars Trowel, transplanter and cultivator at a good price for a high quality product. Love them.

Great size, great comfort [Posted on 2007-08-31]
You can't go wrong with a Fiskars product, and this is no exception. This little hand shovel is well worth the price. Very comfortable, nice sized, large scoup.

Broke, not as strong as looks [Posted on 2007-09-20]
This trowel looks great, nice soft touch handle and is aluminum so it won't rust.. so why 2 stars? I have used it only a few times, and it did reasonably well, then, all of a sudden it shattered at the handle. Usually trowels will bend, but the aluminum scoop is over what looks to be some kind of carbony shaft that attaches to handle, and it just snapped in two... I think if you use this in any kind of clay/rocky soil you would be better off going with something forged. good luck!

Strong, Comfortable Grip, Lightweight Design [Posted on 2007-09-23]
I use this heavily to till the soil in my flower beds because of its broad shoulders and sharp point. Although its used mostly for troweling, it's narrow enough to be used for planting and broad enough for transplanting. I have a tool for every job but I find this is the only digging tool I really need to bring along. If you're debating which type of hand digger to get (planter, transplanter, troweler, etc.), I would stick with this troweler

The handle is very comfortable, important when jabbing it into the ground repeatedly to loosen the soil. The wooden tools I've used in the past have been very hard on my hands but, I come away with no pain with this design.

The polished alumnium is VERY strong, light weight, mostly scratch resistant and does not rust. The textured material on the handle does collect dirt and has to be scrubbed to get clean.

Broke during the first use [Posted on 2008-05-21]
The first time I used this trowel it broke in two! It snapped where the blade attaches to the handle. It looks like it is solid metal entering the handle but it's actually hollow, filled with something gritty that resembles cement. I expected much better from Fiskars. I ended up buying a Craftsman trowel from Sears which is much better quality and was no more expensive than the Fiskars.
