Fiskars Xact Trowel Softgrip Handle Stainless Steel Head

The Xact trowel is a very sturdy trowel that makes gardening so much easier. I am not a very strong person, and this trowel made it easy to pop some bulbs out of a garden bed that is in the ground so that they could be replanted some place else. The trowel enabled me to easily get the whole bulb out of the ground, without harming the bulbs. With the ground being so hard, my other trowel could not dig into the soil. The sharp edge on this trowel went into the ground with little effort, and dug down as deep as I needed to go. I am so happy with this trowel, it really has let me enjoy gardening again. With as hard as the soil is here, it did not bend the trowel when popping the bulb out, so I think it is sturdy enough to last for a lifetime of use, with out bending. This really is an excellent gardening tool.

The Fiskars Xact trowel is one heavy-duty piece of garden equipment. The head of the trowel is impressively big. I was able to move significantly more dirt because the walls of the trowel were higher and able to carry more back and forth. It is also made out of stainless steel so it should not rust. I have not had it long enough to confirm but I trust that it will hold up over time. The handle is thick and feels great in the hand. It is also more comfortable compared to my trowel with a wooden handle. It is soft but not squishy. My only complaint is that the bump on the underside for resting my index finger could be updated. It offered some support but the position seemed a bit odd given that the handle is so long. The hole on the end of the handle is helpful for hanging up the tool in my shed. The edge of the trowel is sharp enough to dig through some dry dirt but not so sharp that it would be dangerous to use. I have enjoyed using this trowel in my garden and I look forward to the next planting season!
