Troubleshooting
Blade appears to be rusting.
Ensure the trowel is completely dry after each use and stored in a dry environment. Light rust can often be removed with a fine-grit sandpaper or steel wool, followed by drying and a light oil coating.
Handle feels loose.
Inspect the connection point between the handle and the blade. If there is minor looseness, ensure no debris is trapped. For significant looseness, it may indicate wear and the tool might need replacement.
Difficulty cutting through compacted soil.
Use a digging fork or spade for initial loosening of heavily compacted soil before using the trowel. Ensure the blade is kept clean and sharp.
