Hey, I don't get excited about a hand trowel very often (never have before, come to think of it). I've been through a lotta garden trowels in my 43 years & none of them were anything more then glorified pokers. I picked up this Fiskars hand trowel at Kmart last week for 5 or 6 bucks, and man does it DIG. It works like a miniature backhoe, especially well in my baked, hard packed soil. I've never had a shovel that felt like it was doing the work for me, until now. It appears to be cast aluminum/alloy & would cut a 4" diameter circle in three insertions into turf (not that we cut full circles, that's a size description). The blade is about 1/8" thick (sharpened all the way around), & it weighs about 3/4 of a pound. It's a pretty strong & hefty hand tool.
