Wilcox All-Pro 102S 12 All-Pro Trowel

Bought this for a camp shovel and have used it digging into some very hard soil and rocks. This this is indestructible. LEather strap is a nice added touch. Value for price is spot on!

this is an exceptionally strong well built garden trowel .. It is deeper and better for digging holes , bulbs and areas where you need a bit longer cut .. I think stainless is also the way to go in the garden as I would rather have a few well made sturdy then a bunch of cheap tools .. def worth the price and I will be buying more for Xmas gifts

I gave up on the run of the mill garden trowel years ago - after getting about a year and half useage. I have a fine regular trowel now and have had the same for 30 years. Bought this one so I would not have to get on the ground to plant. Working great. Like that it has depth measurements on the blade - takes guess work out of it.

IT IS SO SOLID. My only complaint is the coating on the handle has a factory flaw at the top, but it doesnt make a difference in using it. This thing can dig in and handle all the nonsense without blinking. Longer than I expected when I got it, but thats even better. Highly recommend.

Wow, this tool is the real deal! I used it to lay in sod and tuck the edges. Is solid, this tool will not leave my garage and find it’s way to the neighbors, cause it’s mine baby!

This is an exceptional tool. Before buying this, I went through trowels like crazy. Ive had ones break after a few months, but usually the last at most a couple years. I finally looked up this trowel online, and after seeing the stellar reviews, bought it, mainly because I wanted something that was going to last me for years. I was pleased though that this trowel isnt just durable, it works much more effectively than a typical trowel. Like, the difference was remarkable. Using this trowel, I was able to uproot large, tough plants with thick, deep roots (like greater burdock, pokeweed) that I normally would require a large shovel to remove. But, compared to gardening with the shovel, I found that this smaller trowel resulted in less soil disturbance. This is great, as itll help me to garden and do ecological restoration work with less disruption of the soil. The sharp edges are also very effective at cutting roots, which can be very helpful for removing plants with large branched roots. Ive been using this tool for over three years, and I pretty much only use it and larger shovels. My only complaint so far is that the leather loop broke within the first year, and theres no way I can find to fix or replace it. Besides this, the tool itself shows almost no wear...I havent even had to sharpen the blades, and Ive been digging with it in gravel, cutting roots with it, for over three years now. There are some little details too in how this trowel is different from other trowels that make it useful. Its slightly longer, which allows you to get a bit more leverage. This means Im able to do more without having to carry a blukier shovel with me. The v-shape (rather than a U-shape) to the blade also makes it good for planting acorns, nuts, and large seeds, something I do fairly frequently...you can place the nut in the middle and roll it down into the hole you just dug, and because its a neat V, you have more control. The combination of the long blade and V-shape is also great for laying down soil, for the same reason...you can hold this trowel and shake the soil over an area and you have much more control than you do with a shorter, U-shaped trowel. Plus, theres a ruler on it! This is immensely useful, not only for measuring soil depth, but I tend to like to have a ruler with me when Im working with plants, for ID purposes, and its just a bonus to have a ruler with me on the trowel that Im going to be carrying with me anyway. If I could suggest any redesign option it would be to redesign it so that it is possible to reattach the leather strings if they break. I would love to see a metal loop built into the tool itself, or at least, the plastic handle designed with a loop so that it were easier to reattach strings. This is my only complaint or suggestion for improving this amazing tool.

My favorite garden trowel. Much stronger than the typical hand shovels you see people with. Easy to dig with in hard dirt.

I have been gardening for over 50 years and Wilcox hand tools are my first and only choice to use. No worthless wooden handles to break or rusty parts. Try them and you will never go back to those cheep box store tools.

This is the best general purpose garden trowel Ive ever used. Ive owned the same one for over four years and its still going strong. Theres a smaller version good for more dainty stuff but I prefer this one for most things. Bonus: Its made in the USA.

Works similar to a hand trowel ~ love the red handle and easy to grip
