Wilcox All-Pro Stainless Steel Trowel

Bought for my 6 and 7 year old granddaughters for metal detecting. I had my son grind off the points just slightly so my granddaughters would not get poked the the sharp edges. When they are older I will have my son resharpen the edges. These are narrow which makes it easier for my young grandkids to dig through the hard dirt without making a giant hole. They fit nicely into their medal detecting bags. These would be perfect for planting spring flowers because they are not so wide.

The handle is too short. I would not recommend for metal detecting

This tool is very strong and sturdy! It is a good size, not small at all. It is thick and the metal is sturdy. It has a sharp edge for digging in tough dirt. I bought it for my metal detector finds, knowing I would be going through hard dirt, and I am very pleased with it!!! If you want thick and sturdy with a sharp edge, get this one! The handle is padded and comfortable protection. There is a rope attached so you can hang it on your wrist or other. I DO HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TOOL FOR METAL DETECTION DIGGING IN HARD DIRT.

I was initially unsure about ordering this trowel cuz it's just a long narrow strip of stainless steel blade instead of the typical triangular shaped trowel but this thing is solid and strong and the grip is pretty comfortable. I use it to dig out all the chive bulbs and it goes through the soil like butter. So happy to have gotten this especially compared to the previous old trowel that was thin and broke at the tip. I'm not sure how long the plastic sleeve grip will last but I think the trowel itself should last quite a few years. I highly recommend this if you need a strong trowel for digging.

This easily cuts into hard soil for weeding and planting. I have had it for years now, and it doesn’t rust when left outside.
