Tierra Garden DeWit Forged Hand Trowel, Garden Tool for Roots and Planting, Standard (31-3000)

It is the best tool in my garden tote! Heavy duty, sharp and so sturdy! I love it! I was a little bit hesitant to buy it after spending money every year or two on flimsy models that came loose or bent. It seemed like a splurge, but it wasn't! It is worth every penny and then some. Just get it, and you'll be set for many years to come. You can toss the cheap ones you bought before! This is a keeper!

This really is a superior quality item, and while the surface doesn't stay that smooth for long (as soon as you start using it, you can tell), it works perfectly to take revenge on all the evil, resilient weeds out there.

Sturdy, high quality. Definitely worth the money.

This is my second DeWit garden trowel, so obviously I’m a fan. I bought my first one at least six years ago because I do a lot of landscaping. I will use my old one at the gardens where I volunteer, just in case it gets lost. What I love about it is the blade is pointed and beveled, making it so much easier to dig deep-rooted plants out of the most compact ground. I also put a lot of force on the handle and it has not become loose, split, or worn, other than the finish wearing off after years of hard use. The little collar piece is the only thing that eventually came loose on the old one. Now, the head is forged steel so of course it will rust if you don’t take care to remove wet soil or you leave it outdoors in a moist environment. Rust is a user issue, in my opinion. Definitely recommended!

A great hand spade for the garden. Forged construction gives it strength, the contoured wood handle makes it comfortable to use. and the sharpened edges make it easy to dig with. So far I haven't seen a downside. I would recommend and would buy again -- but unless I lose it, I probably won't have to replace it. A definite five stars.

I wanted to go with a higher quality trowel for a project in my yard. Using this product I've dug a 10 inch trench over 45 feet long to install edging for some landscaping. I probably should have thought before trying to do this by hand...but too late for that. This product withstood some brutal rocks, buried 2x4s (thanks to a crap home installer), hard packed clay (wet and dry) and some pretty intense prying as I wedged out all this crap. It didn't phase it one bit to my dismay. No handle bending, no chipping of the edge despite striking every potential rock that exist. This is an excellent tool and I am glad to have it for future projects.A) I probably should have thought before doing this by hand

Excellently made and relatively well balanced weight. Would be very challenging to bend. On the large side for a trowel making it ideal for smaller planting projects. Might be large for a small hand.

I love the weight of this item and the construction of it. I just know it will last for years. Since I have heavy red clay mixed with iron ore, I need a heavy tool with sharp edges - this fills the bill!
