Ergo Garden Trowel
What owners praise
- Cast aluminum head will never rust
- Ergonomic handle reduces wrist fatigue

- Large hang hole for easy shed storage
- Extremely lightweight for its size
What to know first
- Aluminum is softer than forged steel for prying rocks
- Handle size might feel large for very small hands

- Heavy duty 11-gauge iron prevents bending in hard ground
- Galvanized coating resists rust during wet seasons
