5.0 out of 5 stars A must..., May 22, 2007

The 45-5 is a must for any archaeologist. There are those who prefer the 6-inch 45-6, but I feel that model has too much flex, which can cause you to gouge your walls.

Whether you prefer the 45-5 or 45-6, Marshalltown (golden or not) is the way to go.

5.0 out of 5 stars the archaeologist's best friend, August 5, 2007

My Marshalltown has been used for over 13 years and other than being scuffed up and a bit smaller from repeated edge sharpening, still works as well as day one. There is a reason that this brand is the preference of many archaeologists.

This review is from: MARSHALLTOWN The Premier Line 45 5 5-Inch by 2-1/2-Inch Pointing Trowel (Tools & Home Improvement)

I've used the 45-5 for over 30 years. I've thoroughly abused this trowel by using it underwater,
in hard-pan clay soils, and in very rocky soils. It has never failed me, which is important
because trowels are not readily available throughout the world. After a couple of decades of
use and resharpening, I find that I have removed so much metal that my 5" trowel is now a 3" trowel.

I can't imagine using any other trowel. The 45-5 takes and holds an edge well and can withstand
being sharpened on a grinding wheel.

Simply put, the 45-5 is the archaeologist's best friend.
