Advantages: Good decent trowel and hard wearing

Disadvantages: Nothing at all

I have owned my Wilkinson's Sword Hand Trowel now for almost eighteen months and I use it regularly, mainy at weekends. I bought it in Home Bargains at a cheaper price than you would normally pay for this make as I think it normally retails for about five or six pounds. I actually paid £4.89 for mine which I personally think is a real bargain.

It has served me really well over the time I have had it. It is easy and comfortable to use and I use it mainly for potting in the garden and also for digging up the hard clay-like soil in my garden and replanting. It is made from stainless steel and it is also rust resistant. I have left it outside on a lot of occasions during the time I have had it but it has shown no sign of any rust as yet. The handle is made of hard varnished wood and this is also all in good order and a good state of repair.

The handle is very comfortable and I am able to get a really good grip, even with my gardening gloves on and it does not slip. My other half also uses this regularly and she has also commented on how good it is to use.

It is made by a brand that I know and that I trust and I also own many other gardening tools from this manufacturer and they are also proving to be excellent purchases. Great if you can get them cheaper in a discount store too, of course, as it can be considerably cheaper than paying full price.

I am hoping that my trowel will continue to be in good nick in another couple of years time and I am sure it will as it still looks as good as new.

Really recommended.
