Advantages: strong head

Disadvantages: npne

I have been staying at my daughters for a day or two and was helping her in the garden when it was sunny.
I used her hand trowel it was a Spear & Jackson Elements Hand Trowel. She has had this trowel for a while now and it looks like it will last her many more years.
Spear and Jackson is an old reliable firm making tools of a good standard.

This Trowel has a 5 inch/12cm ash handle which has been weatherproofed and finished with a lacquer /varnish. A hole is drilled through the top this has a leather strap threaded through it so you can easily hang the trowel up on a hook.

The hammer finished epoxy coated head gives improved resistance to rust, scratches, humidity and alkaline in the soil. This has a small stem which fits into the wooden handle firmly with a ferrule of the same material as the blade. The blade is strong will not bend and it is very firmly fitted into the handle.

This little hand trowel is an ideal size for weeding around my daughter rose bush and weeding out her forget-me-nots that have gone to seed. It is also a good size for the grandchildren to help, or to dig in their sand pit with too . It will be ideal for using when planting or potting bulbs.


This trowel can be bought from http://www.greenfingers.com/superstore/product.asp ?dept_id=200344&pf_id=LS2910D for £3 alternatively from http://www.tooled-up.com/ManProduct.asp?PID=162282 it costs £3.98 .
