Advantages: 10 year guarentee

Disadvantages: none

I must seem to have a lot of garden tools , yes I have quite a few Some my own , some I have due to my fathers death and me thinking I would keep them as they will be useful , some because we keep our local butterfly conservation work party tools in our garage .

Today I shall be reviewing the Wilkinson Sword Wooden FSC Hand Trowel. This is a handy little trowel

Blade /head
~~
The head of this trowel is made from stainless steel. This does not rust easily and the smooth surface stops soil sticking to it.
It is a good size and digs into soil in my borders well, The bowl of the head is a good size for helping me fill my pots up with soil. The metal shaft sticks into the handle and is held firmly in place with a stainless steel ferrule. (ring)

Handle.
~~~
The handle is wooden made from ash it is a fairly pale wood. The handle is slightly shaped and is comfortable to hold. The handle is a good size for an adult hand to grasp. This handle has a hole drilled into it for a string so that you can hang it up on a hook.

Use.
~~~~
This trowel is ideal for use when potting plants and for digging a small hole in the border when planting individual bulbs. This is a trowel that I give when the grandchildren come and "help" me garden .

Durability.
~~~~~
This trowel should last a long time longer I think than the 10 year guarantee. The handle is very firmly attached so it should mot come adrift from the head.

Recommendation .
~~~~~~~
Yes. There are many trowels available some better than others. This is quite a good one perhaps not top's but yes I would recommend this.
