Buying advice

Consider the handle ergonomics if you have arthritis or hand pain. Stainless steel resists rust but is pricier; carbon steel is durable but can rust if not dried. A trowel with a comfortable grip and sturdy build will last longer. For heavy clay soil, look for a solid one-piece design.
