Felco Root Trowel

Boron steel is significantly harder and more wear-resistant than standard carbon steel. This allows the blade to maintain a sharp edge longer and resist bending or breaking when prying through tough roots or compacted soil.

Yes, the narrow, reinforced boron steel blade is designed to penetrate dense or rocky ground more effectively than a wide, flat trowel. However, it is primarily intended for precision work like weeding and transplanting rather than heavy-duty excavation.

To keep the handle in top condition, wipe it clean after each use and store it in a dry place. Periodically applying a light coat of linseed oil will help nourish the wood and prevent it from drying out or cracking over time.

Yes, the blade can be resharpened using a fine-grit file or a sharpening stone. Because the blade is made from high-quality boron steel, it is durable enough to withstand regular maintenance to keep it performing like new.

The Felco Lifetime Guarantee covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal gardening use. It provides peace of mind that the tool is built to last, though it does not cover damage resulting from misuse or normal wear and tear.
