Product Description
The new version of the Suluk 46 Titanium Trowel is just as handy as the old, but now features a loop in the handle and no holes in the body to prevent leakage. Designed for digging catholes in the backcountry, it’s available in two different sizes, depending on your needs Read More
Great thin blade for slicing through roots and hard soil. Its flexy but strong when used correctly. Only thing is that its got a sharp handle and to use it effectively it hurts to use it. What I did was mold an edge around the handle with 'sugru'. Super comfy and not much weight. I'd rate it 5 stars after adding the edge. It's a super effective trowel even in hard dirt once the handle edge is covered.
I found that the sugru allows you to mold a thicker edge which allows you to grip it much much harder. And allows for stabbing harder ground to dig an effective hole.
Much thinner than I expected. It's strong... I haven't bent it. But I have cut my hand three times trying to use it, pretty deeply. You MUST wrap the handle in something. I folded a few layers of clear gorilla tape around each edge, which was plenty. That of course adds to the weight. It's a nice design, and seems like it'll last a long time, even digging in rough soil (you gotta take your time). It cuts through small roots pretty well, an advantage of being so thin. I probably wouldn't buy it again, but would fashion my own from something cheap.
Fantastic piece of gear. You may laugh at the weight and flexibility of it, but it is strong - the design holds the shape, even when you are trying to bend it. You could always use a stick, or tent-peg or rock, or your spork. But it works better than those. Great for gardening too, and children to use. But make sure you sandpaper the edge smooth first.
PAPATYSI also ended up cutting the little curled back bits on both sides to get it in and out of my pocket or bag easier. Although i felt more confident digging when they were there!
Rally like the trowel. It’s light, cuts pretty well, and disappears in my kit. However, one of the plastic $4 trowels that is perforated afterward with a drill is significantly stronger, only slightly heavier, but a fraction of the price. This titanium thing is surprisingly flexible, and it always felt like I was going to break it. It worked well for soft ground, but on something firm/hard it would be useless.
if I was to do it again, I wouldn’t. The plastic handled trowels are more versatile and you won’t care if they get damaged.
I literally laughed when I pulled this out of the box. It is VERY light and you can did holes with it; however for the price there are much better options out there. Here in Arizona, this shovel won't cut it (ground is too hard). I expected something light but much thicker. I'd look for an aluminum shovel of the same size and shape for a quarter the price.
