Finally a durable garden trowel for working the hard clay in my garden. I have bent/broken any number of trowels working the garden. This trowel is up to the task of being a work horse in the garden - sturdy and dependable - and easy to grip.

I've had my share of trowels over the years, and my main complaint was that they were basically all too small. Sometimes you just need a bigger shovel, to either dig wider or deeper, and the 'regular' ones just don't cut it. Enter Fiskars Big Grip. I saw this in Target and grabbed it immediately; I knew it was simply something I had to have, being a hard core gardener. I haven't had a job that this has been too small for yet, always planting and moving plants. It wouldn't be too handy if needing to move or plant something large, when a full size shovel is necessary, but every gardening tool set needs this trowel. Well made & sturdy, definitely one of my best gardening supply purchases...

I wish they had more of these; I hope they start offering others, such as a weeder, mattock, and the like.

I have the cultivator and this trowel (which is actually more of a scoop; it has a very wide, open blade, and is best used for moving large amounts of material, such as digging a transplanting hole for a 1gal or so plant, or for scooping garden soil or planting mix from the bag).

I like it a lot. It's got a good, soft grip, and my hands don't cramp up after using it for a long period of time. They also seem to be very well made, strong tools. The blade is more of a dull metallic color (not shiny) which I like a lot.

Finally, the tag it comes with comes on a nice, nylon, braided cord; I ripped the tag off and kept the cord as it's great for hanging the scoop up when I'm done using it!

I love this trowel & use it every time I tend to my flowerbeds.
It's got a great, sturdy, rubber handle for good grip & it does its job very well.

This sturdy trowel fits my needs exactly, my only surprise is that after a week outside, the orange part has faded almost to white and the metal is covered with a fine layer of oxidation. This is only cosmetic and in no way compromises the utility.
I'm happy with the purchase, and would buy it again.

For the first week, I loved this little shovel. Then, my husband used it to dig a small hole in regular soil and it snapped in two.

So far so good! These are the best trowels we've had. We work in natural resource management so we use the trowels to dig up invasive exotic plants like English Ivy, Periwinkle and others. These are strong trowels. Most trowels bend and break on us at the neck (where the handle and the shovel meet). The only thing is that the tip is very sharp and we work with lots of kids so we have to make a point to be careful with the tool.

I use this trowel constantly. I have fibromyalgia and arthritis so the large handle really helps while digging. The weight is no more than a regular trowel. Probably one of my top 10 garden tools.

This Trowel will hold a lot. I will probably use it instead of my shovel to put bark or mulch around plants.

Great ergo and size for transplanting most anything. Really a good value for the qualtiy of the trowel. This one is a keeper
