I’ve used a lot of digging tools over the years, and this one is by far the best trowel for rocky soil. It cuts through roots like butter!

Lightweight, strong, and easy to pack. I bought it for backpacking but now use it in my garden too. Great dual-purpose tool.

Saw the reviews of The DirtSaw Deuce trowel and decided to try this updated version. It’s even better than expected—super sharp and comfortable to use.
