Product Information

Full details

The Kew Gardens Neverbend Long Handled Trowel is ideal for gardeners seeking to improve their ergonomics while tending to flower beds and borders. By utilizing a 1010mm extended handle, this tool allows users to perform planting and weeding tasks while standing, which significantly reduces the need for bending and alleviates back strain. While its extended reach is perfect for deep borders, users with limited storage space may find the 40-inch shaft length slightly cumbersome compared to traditional hand trowels.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the total length of the trowel?

The shaft size is 1010mm, which is approximately 40 inches long.

Is this tool suitable for heavy digging?

While the trowel is durable, it is designed for planting and weeding in loose soil, not for heavy-duty digging or prying rocks.

Does the head rust easily?

The head is mirror-polished and designed to be rust-resistant, provided it is cleaned and dried after use.

What does FSC certified mean?

It means the wood used for the handle is sourced from forests that are managed in an environmentally and socially responsible way.

Can I leave this tool outside?

The handle is weather-proofed, but for maximum longevity, we recommend storing it in a dry, covered area.

Troubleshooting

Soil sticking to the blade

Ensure the blade is wiped clean after use; a light coating of silicone spray can also help prevent soil adhesion.

Handle feeling dry or rough

Lightly sand the handle with fine-grit sandpaper and apply a coat of exterior-grade wood oil or linseed oil.

Leather strap becoming stiff

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or neatsfoot oil to restore flexibility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This tool requires no assembly; it is ready to use immediately out of the box. To maintain the longevity of your Kew Gardens trowel, follow these care instructions:

  • Cleaning: After each use, wipe the stainless steel head with a damp cloth to remove excess dirt. For stubborn soil, use a gentle brush.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check the FSC ash handle for any signs of wear or splinters; if the wood appears dry, you may apply a light coating of boiled linseed oil to keep it supple.
  • Storage: Always store in a dry location. Utilize the leather wrist strap to hang the tool vertically; this keeps the head off the ground and prevents the handle from warping over time.
