now that i am older and cannot use a shovel this is perfect for me when planting my flowers. it should last a very long time.

A truly awesome product. Good, sturdy, well constructed trowels are very difficult to find. I garden year round, both in my yard and in my sister's homestead vegetable garden so I am very hard on trowels. This one performs extremely well

I like that this has a very large trowel so you can displace enough dirt without any real effort. I will admit it has some weight to it but, if you don’t mind when you are digging a hole for planting your vegetable plants it makes for a quick hole. It is also very useful for when you’re popping out weeds, just push down by the weed and pop the plant out. This is not a toy so you will have to put a little effort into working the soil and it will take some abuse.I can’t see how the trowel will separate from the handle unless you literally abuse it. I see where the trowel and handle are tig welded. I will admit that you can get a bad weld but, it’s few and far between. I know there are going to be people who are going to criticize me but this is my opinion and I like this trowel. And I am in my early 60s and not afraid of a little bit of hard work.

Came just in time to plant fall bulbs, very sturdy

This is the second one of these I've ordered. The first one was lifted by a contractor when they were cleaning up, that's how good this trowel is, contractor grade!My new trowel has the titanium coating, so a little step up!This will be an heirloom trowel, I'm sure it will last forever (unless wanting eyes spot it)!
