Dewit Rock'n Root Trowel, Garden Tool for Roots and Planting

This Dewitt trowel is okay. I guess I expected higher quality for the price. In the pictures the tools look black and are described as HAND FORDGED so I assumed this trowel wood be made of heavy black wrought iron. Instead this tool is extremely light weight the metal is a gray color and doesn't seem anything special. I was expecting something more heirloom quality; the type that you can pass down from generation to generation! I purchased the other tools as well and am awaiting their arrival. I hope they are a bit more impressive than this one as they're a bit more expensive than this one. When you add them all up your paying well over $100 dollars for a four piece garden tool set! I even want to buy some leather straps to fashion a hanging strap for each tool. For the price they charge they should already have the leather hanging strap! I'm a bit disappointed but I will make my final determination when I see the whole set together.

Wish it had a narrower point. I use it for digging weeds and some huge roots in soil more clay and rocks than anything else. It's strong enough I have not yet bent it but a sharper point would mean it would go in more easily.I have a couple of DeWit's wider garden trowels, but I find I have to be careful, as the stem between the blade and the shovel can bend. Must quickly note nobody else's garden trowel has been able to stand up to the use I put it through, this one has, and even the wider ones take more abuse than any other trowel I have tried.Am experimenting with grinding the end of it sharper. So far so good, it's an improvement.

I have purchased 4 DeWit tools and this by far is my favorite and most used followed by Japanese hand hoe for weeding. This tool is particularly important for me as my soil has rocks and narrow and long trowel is the best when digging and re-planting. Any shovel or wider trowel used to catch the rocks. With this tool I can dig them out easily. I also love it being so long - essential for planing bulbs. As all DeWit it is sturdy and sharp.

It's the most versatile/effective weeding tool I've ever used. There's an amazing elm two lots down from me whose seeds make a good 100 starts in my yard every year. This is perfect for dislodging those that get in a good year or two of growth in. It's also wide and rounded enough to turn over 7" of soil without tearing apart roots, bulbs or stolons in the everlasting war against spiderwort.

Perfect tool for planting small bulbs. I use it for planting Snowdrops, Crocus, Cyclamen and like sized bulbs and plants. This tool allows me to plant deep or shallow depending on what I need. It deals with rocky soil with little problem. I find myself reaching for this tool more and more often. And, of course, it's DeWitt so you know it's of the highest quality. You won't wear it out.

This shovel does an amazing job for getting past roots and giving the necessary leverage needed for a transplant. It is super long, far better than a regular trowel for this job! No need to get out a large shovel for 1 plant, and doesn't disturb the other plants around it. I have 2 other DeWitt trowels, each exceeds expectations. These are so well made, and I was tired of replacing cheap bendable trowels. These feel solid as a rock, the edges are sharp, and I would recommend their products to anyone looking to buy their last trowel. Well worth the price!

I LOVE this tool! I should've bought it years ago. If you work in the yard, planting flowers or weeding, you will absolutely love this. Made in Denmark, not China, so it was responsibly made and very well made. Very sturdy! I have arthritis, so this is a lifesaver!

I liked very much the perfect weight and sharpness of this garden root trowel. I'm quite happy with this transaction. Thank you.
