Spear & Jackson 5030TR Traditional Stainless Steel 5 ½" Handle Trowel

You get what you pay for. Quality from Spear and Jackson.

This is such a handy item, Im not sure how I managed without it...It was excellent for getting the weeds out of my gravel drive as well as from the soil.. It is very sturdy and feels so strong when using.. Another plus side is that it also looks good.. I have absolutly all faith in recommending this to anyone and its so reasonable in price...

This review applies to the Weed fork, Trowel and the long-handled hand Cultivator, which I bought all at the same time from amazon. We were looking to get some hand tools, but wanted to avoid the bargain-basement sets that you can get from low-end stores which end up being a false-economy. Spear & Jackson are a decent name in garden tools, and these implements have stainless steel main parts and traditional wooden handles, so it matches a spade and fork that I already have and am very pleased with. They appear well made, and come equipped with nice leather straps for hanging up in my shed. The price for the weed fork and trowel were only £5 each from amazon at time of purchase (half that of "big shed" high street stores. The long-handled cultivator was more expensive, but a similar degree of saving was made over the high street by purchasing through amazon.

Strong well made fork, does the job it was brought for

what more can I say spear & jackson top quality easy to use

I like everything about it it is really solid

A real Traditional style and make of a garden tool

I got this for my Nan as she is unable to get to any shops that sell Garden tools etc which she is very happy with! It’s great quality, seems sturdy but can’t say for sure as she hasn’t used it yet! Didn’t see any issues with the wood being chipped or anything. Would recommend as it’s a very good price too!! :)

Good for the money.

These are really tough hand forks. So many at this price bend the first time you try to pull out any kind of tough weed. Will definitely be buying more when these get lost to the compost heap and can't be found again.

Take it from one who has bent a few of the cheaper trowels, this new one from Spear & Jackson is a winner. I always resisted buying more expensive trowels and opted for the cheaper ones, but after wearing out another one, it was time to try a higher end trowel. Here are the pro's for this trowel: - The blade of the trowel is a heavy, carbon / ferritic stainless, which means it will be magnetic, and also means it is hardened / tempered more than classic austenitic stainless (which is non-magnetic). The blade is very thick and it would take a lot of force to bend it. - The ferrule on the trowel is affixed very well to the hardwood handle, and I cannot detect any play in it - it is not loose and feels it will not fall off like many cheaper tools with ferrules. It is dimpled on two sides where it joins to ensure it stays in place. - The neck of the trowel is a one-piece construction with the blade, and is not welded like some, so there is no joint to fail under force. Additionally, the neck appears to be epoxied? into the wood handle and should be durable. - Finally, the wood handle is recessed toward the middle, making a good fit for smaller hands (like my wife's). The handle appears to be made out of white oak which will make it very water resistant (red oak is not). The con's - can't think of any at this point - but let's see how it holds up under repeated use over time. I will update at a later date if need be. We tested it out today, and it feels great in the hand, and has a lot of staying power and it cuts through the hard AZ dirt well. Overall a five star trowel, I would recommend it to anyone! Not cheap, but quality rarely is. We were going to get a Lee Valley trowel for $5 more, but I think we will be more than happy with this one! 5 stars! Thanks for reading!
