Is the steel head prone to rusting?

No, the product is supplied in a random color, and there is no option to choose a specific color.

How should I clean the tool after use?

Will the size of the item vary?

Is this tool suitable for heavy-duty landscaping?

Troubleshooting

Tool head feels loose on the handle

Ensure the ferrule (metal collar) connecting the head to the handle is secure. If loose, it may require professional re-securing or replacement of the handle. For minor looseness, try gently tapping the ferrule with a rubber mallet.

Rust appearing on the steel head

Light rust can often be removed using a wire brush or fine-grit sandpaper. After cleaning, dry the head thoroughly and consider applying a light coat of tool oil to prevent further rusting.

Wooden handle shows signs of wear or splintering

Lightly sand any rough spots to remove splinters. Apply a wood conditioner or linseed oil to protect the wood and restore its appearance. If damage is severe, consider replacing the handle.
