Five Star Reviews: | 80% Great trowel September 13, 2017 Another great Fiskars product. Handle is great for big hands or long fingers and will not rust if left out. Dig it. August 7, 2017 Handy little tool for my cactus garden and soil mixing. Fiskars make great quality product. I like this one. Can you dig it? July 6, 2017 I got this trowel for my wife after her other one broke. She is really digging this one and it is much stronger and will last a lot longer. Works better if the soil is dry May 27, 2017 Pry out dandelions and wild strawberries, roots and all. Works better if the soil is dry. Good Quality June 12, 2016 I needed a durable and functional trowel for my small home garden. I use a raised bed and so the dirt is not overly packed. I found this trowel to be perfect for my gardening needs and I think the handle provides a good grip. The metal is thick and not flimsy, so you are getting a high quality tool for an affordable price. | 71% Digging for gold. August 26, 2017 Appears to be a quality item. I have a Fiskars manual spring-loaded lawn trimmer I have been happy with for the tight spots. I also have a Fiskars trimming board, and a Fiskars Scissors. To date, I have been quite pleased with their products. I intend to add this to my metal detecting tool backpack. Perfect for scooping potting mixes August 25, 2017 Where has this little scoop been all my life?! Sometimes a hand trowel just isn't the right tool when you're transplanting, but this is the right one. It's better than using a small pot or cup, and better than using a trowel to scoop potting mixes or other materials. If you do a lot of container gardening, you'll love this. Great for hiking and camping! June 27, 2017 This a great backpacking trowel. It's very light and extremely strong. I see a few reviewers say their broke with light use and I can't wrap my mind around that. I had a big stack of heavy cardboard boxes and before I broke them down I decided to test this shovel on them, so I started stabbing them. I jabbed at least fifty holes through several layers of heavy boxes, including some I had to hammer through. In addition to that I've dug up roots and dug holes in rocky soil with no issues. I'm not sure what it would take to break one of these, although perhaps in very cold weather the plastic might get more brittle. Buy More! June 2, 2017 Really good scoop. Wish I bought more than 2. For soil, peat moss, fertilizer, pea gravel, etc...I ilusually use an old plastic dish for these things. This scoop is very nice in your hand, scoops and empties nicely. Very hearty grade of plastic. If you are a gardener YOU NEED THESE April 9, 2017 I needed new trowels as the old ones cannot be found (don't ask). This shape was appealing as our soil is clay and gets really hard to break through. Needn't have worried with these trowels. They break the soil so easily and also make removing weeks a snap. Plus you have the Fiskars brand means you know they will last. Thoroughly happy with this purchase and would recommend to anyone. No complaints at all! March 29, 2016 Just like all of my other Fiskars items, these cultivators are the same quality I have come to expect from this company. I love that they are composite material. This means that they won't rust or rot and will last for years to come. I don't know how many times I have gone to use my metal cultivators only for the tines to bend in our hard NC soil and then break off at the wooden handle. Unlike that junk, these are super lightweight but at the same time, extremely strong and durable. I own a Fiskars Axe and I was skeptical at first (since I knew them only as a scissor company) but that thing is a beast. This is why I decided to go ahead and buy their smaller items too. They are all awesome products (even the scissors LOL) | 80% Very durable & strong--Don't lose it! September 12, 2016 Ergonomic and a million times stronger than the plastic crap available at WalMart. I bought one of these a long time ago and recently lost it.....I thought I could buy a replacement at Wal Mart and never realized how much I like this particular cultivator (particularly the metal fingers). I have now bought 2 just in case I lose one again. Great for small garden projects July 6, 2016 My little patch of yard is covered in crabgrass and other tough weeds with extensive root systems, so planting anything can be a grueling process. This tool has been great for clearing those out and loosening up the soil, especially for smaller plantings where a little precision is needed. The handle is comfortable in my hand, and the metal teeth are sturdy enough to power through tough soil without bending. Love this tool February 26, 2015 Love this tool. Makes gardening much easier. It really is easy on my old hands. Wish I had this year's ago! |
Four Star Reviews: | 10% Okay product September 6, 2016 This is an okay product. Can't say it's the best one I've ever used though. | 14% Very sturdy since its formed as one piece September 20, 2017 Very sturdy since its formed as one piece. The tips are not very pointed so this is better for medium to larger projects. Anything small this might be too big. Handle Covered with Large, Difficult-to-Remove Sticker - Sturdy Design, Affordable August 13, 2017 This, like the trowel version, gets the job done for a good price. It's made of a sturdy material that holds up well to regular gardening tasks. However, please note that the handle comes covered in a large, branded sticker that is difficult to remove. Lightweight, works well, doesn't rust July 10, 2017 I like this tool. It would be nice if the blade was sharper, but in normal soil it works great. Bit shorter than expected June 12, 2017 The trowel portion was a bit shorter than expected, but otherwise Fiskars usual very good quality Well made May 2, 2017 A little to light weight for me but well made product. Im sure this will last for a long time to come Sturdy Scoop September 5, 2015 This is a nice sturdy scoop that has many potential uses inside and outside the house. Overall durability is better than most of the other products I have used for this purpose. The regular plastic ones usually break easily, and the metal ones most often corrode quickly when in contact with soil and rocks. The composite strikes a nice balance between the two, and this thing feels virtually indestructible. The size and shape of the scoop make it useful for measuring out fertilizers and other garden products. | 10% Nice tool August 23, 2017 This is a nice Fiskar product but wish it had more thongs, sharper thongs and longer thongs. I got an Asano Japanese Ninja Claw rake which I like much better but it has a wooden handle and probably won't hold up as long as I would like. Comfortable to use June 3, 2017 Great value. Comfortable handle and the somewhat flat tines work well when breaking up soil in large window boxes or containers. this is a nice tool, and well priced August 26, 2014 this is a nice tool, and well priced. the angle of the fork tines isn't perfect for hand cultivation, but other than that, worth buying. Fiskars Cultivator June 14, 2014 This replaces a plastic one where the tines broke off from use. This cultivator, looking at the way it is built, should last for 50 years plus, in other words, a lifetime. The handle appears to be well made and its shape is comfortable when using. Its a basic tool so not a lot to go wrong with it. I would recommend it to anybody. |
Three Star Reviews: | 5% Great customer service May 18, 2017 Handle broke on the second use but Fiskars stood by their warranty and replace it without any hassle. Great customer service, mediocre product. Tip broke in a couple weeks. My backyard is ... August 24, 2016 Tip broke in a couple weeks. My backyard is mostly rocks with a little dirt in between so I'm not sure how much I can blame the product, but that's what happened anyways. Three Stars June 23, 2016 Deccent although I wish it were sharper at the end in order to dig through tough soil! ... find the handle a little too big to be comfortable. August 10, 2015 "Ergo" doesn't seem to apply to the size of my hand (woman's Large glove) - I find the handle a little too big to be comfortable. the only problem I found was that the handle was ... June 23, 2015 the only problem I found was that the handle was a little thick for a woman's hand and a little hard to hold. Otherwise it was made well. Gentle use only, not overly sturdy August 10, 2014 Small, not overly strong or durable. Not nearly as strong as my old standby. Trowel is medium at best, it is m not large. Three star is for bending on difficult digs, but fine if you don't need a sturdy trowel. Did not notice any ergo benefits. | 6% Ok. for softer ground. June 15, 2017 I suppose on fairly soft ground this will be ok. But on harder ground, like we have in the Mojave Desert, this doesn't hold a candle to a good steel trowel for example, in my case, when digging out weeds. Broke the first day.. I'm unsure if I ... May 14, 2017 Broke the first day.. I'm unsure if I was digging the worlds biggest root or if it's kinda flimsy .. went to Home Depot and bought a new one with a steel blade. I suppose it would work well if you simply used it for moving potting soil. Three Stars January 30, 2017 It snapped on me and I guess I was digging in a rocky place so partly my fault. good for the price, but doesn't last long May 22, 2016 I got the transplanter. It lasted 2 months, using it frequently, and leaving it outside most of the time. I really like that it didn't bend like the metal ones do. It probably would have lasted longer if I took better care of it. It did eventually break in half. Over all for the price, and how well it worked I am buying another one, hopefully this one will last longer. This will never rust. April 6, 2015 not very big as a scoop but slightly better than a trowel.Have reverted to using a clay pot to move potting soil into big pots.But I like the design and it handles well. If it had been bigger it would have been a real seller | 7% Three Stars March 27, 2017 Great for digging on harder grounds, helps getting down to the treasure much easier. |
Two Star Reviews: | 3% I gave it a two instead of one star because ... May 30, 2017 I gave it a two instead of one star because I bought two of them. One snapped at the metal joining the handle on the first dig. Snapped right off. Metal had serious flaws in it. The second one has worked ok, but we are leary of it doing the same thing. Time will tell. OK, but has 2 fatal flaws. June 30, 2015 Good trowel for light duty use but there are two big problems. First, the hole in the handle us in a terrible location. When pushing hard to bust sod or hard soil the hole is very uncomfortable. Second, over time, the rubber starts to peel off of the handle and gets uncomfortable. I am currently looking for a replacement. | 3% The blade is too thick to be sharp & so does not easily penetrate the soil like a metal one July 16, 2017 This is mostly my fault, as I didn't read the description completely before purchasing. I looked at the picture & the price & I needed one so I bought it. It is all plastic. The blade is too thick to be sharp & so does not easily penetrate the soil like a metal one. My mistake - but take my word & just don't buy this product. ... the small amount of gardening I've done but u fortunately after less than a year it broke June 25, 2017 Worked well for the small amount of gardening I've done but u fortunately after less than a year it broke. The tip of the shovel actually broke off. Like I said I rarely do any gardening with it so it didn't have heavy use. Two Stars February 28, 2017 Nice for only light work as the tip snapped after a few uses like many other reviews have stated. This is exactly what it is - a transplanter. ... February 26, 2017 This is exactly what it is - a transplanter. If you plan to use it for taking the soft soil from the bag and put it into a planter, there is a chance the product will remain in one piece. I tried to dig a hole in the garden, and a piece chipped off the first time I used it. It broke while digging January 23, 2017 On the third use, when scraping alongside a wall, the tip snapped off. It seemed to be of decent quality, but it couldn't hold up in Arizona. | 0% There are no reviews yet |
One Star Reviews: | 2% It broke the second time I used it! The ... July 27, 2016 It broke the second time I used it! The soil was soft and moist and it just snapped clean off the handle with normal usage. Time to shop for a new one... Five Stars July 22, 2016 Changing my review. They come not sharpened, so the edges are flat and digging is a pain Broke during first use May 17, 2014 The first time I was using the shovel, my three year old wanted to help. While digging in the dirt the tip of the shovel broke off. Not very sturdy if a 3 year old can brake it in dirt. | 6% Fiskar products are usually good - but not this one June 6, 2017 Much smaller than it looks in the picture, plus the end broke off within 15 minutes of use. I usually love Fiskars products, but this is poor quality and definitely not suitable for "large scoops of soil" that they advertized. An empty soup can is more effective than this poorly made product. I hate to leave bad reviews, but this was not worth purchasing at any price. but the quality was obviously really poor. May 15, 2017 An inch of the tip broke off literally the first time I put it in the dirt. I was really looking forward to this based on the positive reviews, but the quality was obviously really poor. Do not buy September 17, 2016 This is a piece of crap. First off it's a plastic shovel. I have used it maybe 5 times and today I attempted to plant a mum and the tip broke off. Do not Buy. Not for anything but light duty use. June 27, 2016 The blade broke in half the first time I used it to extract a dandelion. It should only be used in already lose dirt. Broke on the first day! June 3, 2016 Don't let the description fool you - this is made of cheap plastic and it snapped in half the first time I used it. | 3% Unusable, fragile October 24, 2016 In the first few minutes I was using it, one tine snapped off because it hit a root. Completely worthless. |
