Sneeboer Planting Trowel

The pointed, sharpened blade is specifically designed to slice through challenging ground conditions. Because it is hand-forged and tapered, it requires significantly less force to penetrate stony or compacted earth compared to a standard rounded trowel.

No, the head is crafted from high-quality stainless steel, which is naturally rust-resistant. While it is durable, we recommend cleaning off excess soil and moisture after use to keep the metal in top condition.

Yes, the handle is ergonomically shaped to fit naturally in the hand, reducing strain during repetitive tasks like bulb planting. Ash wood is chosen for its balance of strength and shock absorption, making it comfortable for extended use.

The main difference is the blade geometry. While a standard trowel is often wider and flatter for scooping, this pointed design is engineered for precision digging and transplanting, allowing you to create narrow holes with minimal soil disturbance.

While the hand-forged construction is incredibly robust, this tool is optimized for planting and transplanting rather than heavy-duty prying. Using it to pry up large rocks or roots may put unnecessary stress on the handle-to-blade connection.
