Sneeboer Transplanting Trowel

A standard trowel is typically wider and designed for scooping or moving soil. This transplanting trowel features a narrower, pointed blade specifically engineered to slice through soil, making it much easier to dig precise holes for seedlings or divide established perennials in tight spaces.

No, the stainless steel construction is inherently rust-resistant. While it is built to last, we recommend wiping the blade clean and drying it after use to maintain its finish and keep the edge sharp for years to come.

Yes, the handle is ergonomically shaped and balanced to reduce hand fatigue. The FSC-certified ash wood provides a natural, secure grip that feels substantial in the hand without being overly heavy.

Because it is hand-forged, this tool is exceptionally strong and can handle tougher soil conditions better than stamped metal trowels. However, it is designed primarily for precision planting, so avoid using it as a lever for prying out large rocks, which could damage the handle.

The overall length of the trowel is 11.6 inches, with a 6-inch blade. This size offers a great balance between reach for deeper planting and control for delicate work.
