Kent & Stowe Border Midi Handled Trowel and Fork Set - Silver

While durable, these are hand tools designed for planting, cultivating, and weeding. For heavy-duty digging in compacted or rocky soil, larger or dedicated digging tools might be more appropriate.

The product description does not specify a warranty period. We recommend checking with your retailer for specific warranty information.

It is not recommended to leave the tools outside permanently. Prolonged exposure to moisture can lead to rust on the steel and damage to the wooden handles. Store them in a dry place after use.

The midi length provides extra reach, making it comfortable to work in raised beds, containers, or at the back of borders without excessive bending or stretching.

High-quality stainless steel is highly rust-resistant, but not entirely rust-proof. Minor surface rust can occur under certain conditions, but it can typically be cleaned off. Proper care and drying are essential.

Clean the handles with a damp cloth and ensure they are dry. Periodically apply linseed oil or natural wax to maintain the wood's condition and prevent it from drying out.

Ensure the stainless steel is clean and dry. For stubborn soil, a gentle scrub with a mild soap and water solution can help. Regular maintenance with oil can also improve non-stick properties.

Lightly sand the handle with fine-grit sandpaper and apply a coat of linseed oil or beeswax. Allow it to soak in and wipe off any excess. Repeat if necessary.

Most stainless steel rust can be removed with a soft cloth and a paste of baking soda and water. Dry thoroughly afterward. This is often cosmetic and does not affect performance if minor.
