Wilcox All-Pro 102S 12 All-Pro Trowel

This is now my favorite garden tool. When I ordered it, I worried it might be too long, or clumsy, but the length and heft make it work. I gave up trying to use a standard spade to turn over the hard rock clay in my garden. I could stand on the spade and it barely went into the clay, but I could punch this tool into the ground, lean on the handle, and the leverage caused by the length made it possible to break the earth where a cheaper tool would have bent. It is long enough to scoop fertilizer out of a bag without getting my hand in the bag. It is sharp enough to punch a hole in a bag of soil. I have been digging in soil with 2 rocks but the tool looks like a mirror. It is deep enough to transplant a plant with a deeper tap root, wide enough to use as a scoop, but narrow enough to make digging easier. And made in USA Deserves10 stars

I bought the 10 fine point trowel a couple weeks ago and this is the BEST trowel I have ever handled. Ive been digging dandelions out of the yard for the last week and this trowel is tough, sturdy, comfortable, and works beautifully. Vastly better than Home Depot trowels or another well-rated set I bought from Amazon. Im so impressed that I ordered two other Wilcox trowels.

I like this garden tool, but it’s a killer on your hand. Handle needs a redesign.

excellent!

Honestly, I dont usually invest in higher quality garden tools but after breaking a few trowels I figured it was time. I love, love, love this garden tool. Its the only one I use. The bright red handle makes it easy to find in my shed. The strap makes it great for hanging. Great quality tool and it is worth it to spend a little more as its worth it!

This is the one! Purchased to replace a bent, cheap model, its holding up wonderfully no matter what I do to it in the garden. From delicate weeding to chopping out heavy ivy roots with the side, it just plain works.

This is a really nice trowel with good attention to detail. The forward edge is filed at about 45 degrees for good cutting, but the tip of the point is left thick to avoid rolling. When you look at many well used trowels you see the forward edge blunted or rolled from hitting rocks. This point will hold up better and still dig well. Steel all the way through the handle so no bending or snapping like the plastic handle half tang models. For what its worth, the etching of depth measurements, and made in USA is also very nicely done. I would advise that if you just get one the 14 is the best size. That length includes blade and handle, and this size can still do all your flower planting tasks, as well as drag for rows in the garden, and do heavier digging for shrubs and weeding. Other ones will be a bit small and fiddly for heavier tasks. I think this piece is well worth the extra few dollars for the quality if you garden with any frequency. My father is a landscaper and horticulturist and has used one for decades. and put several lifetimes of normal use on one. It is shorter from refiling, but still usable after that time.

This is a great trowel. Its pointed top lets you dig with precision. Its light weight and easy to handle.

Outstanding. Beautifully made. Will outlast the human race.

Had no idea there were differences in garden trowels/garden spades til I tried this one as recommended by The Sweethome. They were right-- this is very, very nice.
