Product Information
Full details
The Spear and Jackson 5310TR is an ideal tool for gardeners looking to minimize strain on their back and knees while tending to borders, pots, and raised beds. Its primary benefit is the 42-inch long-handled design, which allows for precise weeding and planting without requiring excessive bending; however, the long handle may feel slightly less maneuverable than a traditional short-handled trowel when working in very confined or cramped garden spaces.

FAQs
How long is the handle on this trowel?
The handle is 42 inches in length, designed to allow standing posture while gardening.
Is the stainless steel rust-proof?
It is highly rust-resistant, though it is always best practice to wipe it clean and dry after use.
Can I leave this tool outside?
While the handle is weatherproofed, we recommend hanging it in a shed or garage to extend its lifespan.
Does this tool come with a warranty?
Yes, it is covered by a 10-year manufacturer's guarantee.
What is the benefit of the leather strap?
The leather strap serves as a convenient loop for hanging storage and provides extra support for your wrist during heavy digging.
Troubleshooting
Head feels slightly loose after extensive use
Check the tang connection point and ensure any securing screws are tightened, though the unit is designed for heavy-duty use.
Soil sticking to the blade
Ensure the head is clean and dry. A light rub with a cloth can restore the polished surface efficiency.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This tool requires no complex setup; it is ready to use immediately out of the packaging. To maintain the tool, rinse the stainless steel head with water after every use and wipe dry to keep the shine and prevent any debris buildup. Because the handle is made of natural wood, it is recommended to periodically wipe the handle with a light coat of linseed oil to prevent the wood from drying out or splintering. Store the tool in a dry environment using the provided leather strap to keep it off the ground, which further protects the integrity of the hardwood handle.
