Niwaki Hori-Hori Pro
Best versatile digging tool for dedicated gardeners.
This is the ultimate multi-tool for the garden, replacing your trowel, knife, and saw in one fell swoop. It is rugged enough to hack through stubborn roots and precise enough to transplant delicate seedlings, though its heavy-duty steel blade requires a bit more maintenance than a standard plastic trowel.
