Comments

JRobert: I gave 4 stars for 'Sturdiness', because being plastic, it _is_ possible to break by trying to pry up a rock - so don't do that. Otherwise it is quite sturdy. Lightweight and very usable for the purpose.

G. Rob: This is an inexpensive, lightweight, plastic trowel. It's a borderline toy as my kids loved using it at the beach, but stands up to a decent beating. I wouldn't trust it for any serious digging, but it's good for digging small pits, digging in the sand, etc. The bright orange ensures you'll never lose it.

Buyin' stuff: Have only used to to pot /repot plants. Seems sturdy enough to take camping to dig cat holes. Lightweight.

al: Though I’ve mostly found other ways to take care of business, this is useful to have on hand in the backcountry. Sturdy.

Dana: Works as intended! It was a gravely/rocky surface, but it still dug! Some plastic was started to shed from the tip, but it's too be expected of plastic when digging into hard and abrasive ground. Pretty study.

I marked where 6 in. And 8 in. are on the trowel to measure how much I've dug. It's also not that bulky so it was pretty low profile in my backpack.
