Handmade from recycled materials in Washington State, it boasts 50% greater strength than comparable trowels and features smooth, rounded edges for safe use. Backed by a lifetime unconditional guarantee, it’s the perfect eco-conscious companion for Leave No Trace backcountry sanitation. ## Description This is a lightweight trowel designed to dig small cat-holes in soft to medium compacted soil. It is not designed to be strong enough to work in heavily compacted soils, or rocks. No ultralight trowel will handle this type of soil, but go ahead and try. If you break it, send it back to us (Tye Works) and we will send you a replacement. This trowel was created to be comfortable to use in most situations, while keeping the weight at about an ounce. Consider that if it is very difficult to dig your cat-hole, you are planning on doing your business in the wrong place, and should look for a more suitable location. Review: Great backpacking trowel - Just got this and I love it. It's much stronger than The Deuce and similar mass-produced trowels I shopped for at REI. Smooth edges edges don't dig into your skin. It's small, barely larger than my hand, but big enough to dig a cat hole. Mine weighs just under 35 g. Review: Light and very sturdy trowel - Used it on 2 backpacking trips and works great. The shape is very good, it is very strong and able to cut through small roots and it won't bend at all. The only negative thing I can think about is that it might feel a bit unpleasant/sharp to use if you have soft skin, but I have no problems with that at all. I don't think i will ever need an other trowel again, excellent product ## Features - Weighs about 32g (1oz.) without lanyard. As these are hand shaped and polished there is a slight variation from one to the next. Lanyard colors may vary. - Cut from 16 gauge (1/16") aluminum sheet, the Tye Works Backcountry Trowel is up to 50% stronger than similar wilderness trowels. It is unconditionally guaranteed for life. Send it back to us (Tye Works) and we will replace it. Length is just over 6" to measure the depth of your hole. - Handmade in Washington State from post production materials. It is not anodized to avoid use of caustic etching agents. - All edges (Except the front) are rounded and polished smooth by hand to insure comfort and safety. - Makes proper backcountry (Leave No Trace) sanitation simple. Perfect gift for any backpacker or wilderness traveller. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07K7X7CQB | | Blade Material | Aluminium | | Brand | Tye Works | | Colour | Silver | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 224 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Aluminium | | Grip Type | Ergonomic | | Handle Material | Aluminium | | Is Foldable | No | | Item Dimensions | 15.5 x 7.9 x 1.9 Centimeters | | Item Weight | 32 Grams | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 15.5 x 7.9 x 1.9 Centimeters | | Manufacturer | Tye Works LLC | | Manufacturer Part Number | TW-12 | | Material | Aluminium | | Model Number | TW-12 | | Style | Trowel | | UPC | 632930942480 | ## Product Details - **Material:** Aluminium - **Colour:** Silver - **Brand:** Tye Works - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 15.5 x 7.9 x 1.9 Centimeters - **Item Weight:** 32 Grams - **Style:** Trowel - **Handle Material:** Aluminium - **Blade Material:** Aluminium - **Is Foldable:** No - **Grip Type:** Ergonomic ## Images ![Tye Works Backcountry Backpacking Trowel (Weighs 32g) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71L0+s0et3L.jpg) ![Tye Works Backcountry Backpacking Trowel (Weighs 32g) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91AEW7wG5aL.jpg) ![Tye Works Backcountry Backpacking Trowel (Weighs 32g) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1XDIWDO3aL.jpg) ![Tye Works Backcountry Backpacking Trowel (Weighs 32g) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1Efckqe9wL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great backpacking trowel *by C***E on 20 June 2023* Just got this and I love it.

Mine weighs just under 35 g. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Light and very sturdy trowel *by J***E on 10 July 2023* Used it on 2 backpacking trips and works great. The shape is very good, it is very strong and able to cut through small roots and it won't bend at all. The only negative thing I can think about is that it might feel a bit unpleasant/sharp to use if you have soft skin, but I have no problems with that at all. I don't think i will ever need an other trowel again, excellent product ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Compact! *by E***A on 22 August 2020* Sized to measure your cat hole. Looks/feels strong. Have not had a chance to use yet, but looks like it will work just as described. Glad it has a little lanyard, since I like that I can hang it off pack or wherever. Sharpish, but just at the digging point mostly, a little along digging edge. Hand hold is not sharp, smooth. Fine, light, little piece! ## Frequently Bought Together - Backcountry Backpacking Trowel (Weighs 32g) - Sawyer Products SP150 Coupling for Water Filtration Cleaning, Blue, 1 x 1 x 1 inches - Sawyer Products SP129 Squeeze Water Filtration System w/ Two 32-Oz Squeeze Pouches, Straw, and Hydration Pack Adapter --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/350103291-tye-works-backcountry-backpacking-trowel-weighs-32g](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/350103291-tye-works-backcountry-backpacking-trowel-weighs-32g) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-10-23*
