Ergonomic Gel-Grip Hand Trowel
The Ames True Temper trowel combines a stainless-steel round-point blade with a polyethylene handle shaped for comfort. Its drop-down shank design puts the blade at a natural angle for digging and transplanting. The 6 1/4 inch handle fits securely in one hand while the gel grip reduces pressure on the palm during repetitive tasks. This tool is built for gardeners who want a lightweight, rust-resistant option for daily bed work.
Stainless-Steel Blade Holds Up to Wet Soil
The 5 3/4 inch blade resists corrosion even when left damp after use, so it stays sharp through a full season of planting. The 3 inch width moves enough soil for annuals and perennials without requiring excessive force. Because the shank drops down from the handle, leverage stays consistent whether you are breaking new ground or working in established beds. The polyethylene handle does not absorb water, keeping the grip stable in humid conditions.
Replaces Basic Wooden-Handle Trowels
Gardeners switching from a plain wood-handled model will notice less wrist fatigue and no splintering handle over time. The upgrade is worth it if you work in heavy clay or tend multiple beds each week. Buyers who need a wider blade for moving mulch or a longer handle for standing work should look at a transplanting spade instead.

Questions about this item
How hot does the stainless-steel blade get after hours of digging in full sun?
The stainless-steel blade absorbs heat like any metal; the polyethylene grip stays cooler and the ergonomic handle reduces hand fatigue during long sessions.
What protective gear do I need before using this trowel?
Only gardening gloves are recommended; the 6 1/4-inch gel grip and drop-down shank are designed for bare-hand comfort and leverage without extra tools.
Will the 3-inch round-point blade fit the planting holes I already dig with my old spade?
Yes, the 5 3/4-inch blade length and 3-inch width match standard transplant holes, so it works alongside existing spades and cultivators.
