Q: What makes this trowel's handle different?
The handle is 1 3/8" in diameter, thicker than a standard trowel grip, which lets the stronger muscles in the forearm do more of the work while keeping the wrist and fingers in a natural position.

This item is not available for this region.
Many hand tools force you to use them in an unnatural position. The handle on this bulb trowel is designed to let the strongest arm muscles do the work, while keeping the joints in natural positions.
The 1 3/8" diameter handle (about 6" long) is thicker than most, making it easier to grip – especially for those with arthritic hands or little hand strength. The blade is made from a strong aluminum-magnesium alloy and measures 9" long by 2 1/2" wide. Comes with a lifetime warranty.

Yes, this bulb trowel's oversized handle is designed to be easier to grip for gardeners with arthritic hands or limited hand strength, since less finger pressure is needed to hold it securely.
The blade is made from an aluminum-magnesium alloy, chosen for its light weight and resistance to bending compared with a standard steel or plastic blade of the same size.
