Wilcox All-Pro Stainless Steel Trowel

I use this to poke aeration holes into the composting garden waste in my outdoor garden composer. Its long handle means that I don’t have to bend down too much or stick my arm too deep into the bin. Works well. Would also work well for planting bulbs or garlic cloves in the garden. It is a simple tool, but works for me.

I originally bought one of these shovels around 12 years ago at a botanical garden shop I visited in another State than the one I lived in. The 14” is my favorite. It is very strong and sturdy, and since the edges are somewhat sharp, it makes a good weeding tool as well as a digging tool. My first one lasted around 5 years before the edges became worn, but the shovel was still very useable. The grip never peeled or pulled away. I personally did not like the leather hanging piece because it got in the way, so I cut it off. If you like to hang your tools it will last forever too. I recently had to buy a new one because my husband lost one. Glad I can get it on Amazon with free shipping since I am a prime member. This is the only trowel/ hand shovel we use. Once you use one, you will never want anything different.

Well made, long handle is very helpful for a long reach, sturdy and solidly built. I think it will last a long time with minimum care. Perfect for planting in pots or raised gardens.

These are great tools, and made in the USA!

Very sharp, so be careful. Beautiful tool regardless!!
