Side by Side Comparison of: LifeWell Garden Products vs Wilcox All pro

I bought these for myself because I was tired of bending cheap trowels. These feel great in my hand even though I have very small hands. My husband has large hands but they fit his also. I love that they are bright colored but not a gaudy red or pink. They are easy to use in the dirt. They came before the expected time. Everything was in good condition and packaged very well.

Gave this to my daughter in law for her birthday. She loved the high quality of this set and said it should last for years.

Gave these to my daughter as a gift, and she liked them so much I bought a set for myself! I haven't used them yet, but I can they are well designed and solid, and they look good, too! I'm confident these garden tools will be just what I need!

Nice quality product that I might buy again for a gift.

Love them! Sturdy.. Nice handles! Can't wait to see how long they last;)

Excellent quality and light weight. They are very comfortable to use and very strong. I use these tool almost every day in my landscape maintenance business. They are well worth purchasing. You will be very pleased with them!!!! The company also contacted me after I ordered them to thank me and make sure I was satisfied. Great customer service you don't normally get any more. Will definitely order there products without any hesitation.

"This IS a trowel"
It handles nicely, it's sharp enough, and heavy enough that it cuts through my dirt/soil like nobody's business, I can't imagine it ever breaking, it cleans up nicely, stays sharp, and the ergonomic design means that you can really lean into this tool without worrying it will bend or break.
I mentioned my dirt/soil, I have a sunny spot perfect for Mediterranean herbs, but the dirt/soil has a lot of rocks in it, it went through almost everything, rocks too big for it to scoop out were easily dug out of the way by leveraging this thing like a big stainless steel digging bar
Buy it, you won't be disappointed, I was so happy with it I bought all of the other sizes offered, tools that will pass down from one generation to the next.

Ive used this for a couple years now to do any hand digging as an electrician. It is a very strong one piece design that I abuse to no end with no breaks or bends. I had a few others in the past that didn't last even a few hard uses. I pry up rocks, hammer on it, mix cement with it and show it no mercy. When I'm done a job I wash it with water and its good as new. 100% recommend for professional use.

I had to replace an old trowel of normal design with a short shovel, a thin neck and a rubber handle. The neck was so thin and the material so weak that the trowel bent at the neck making it impossible to put the kind of pressure on it that was necessary. This design is brilliant. It is one piece of thick metal from tip to tip bent at one end for a grip and sharpened at the other for easy penetration. This causes the neck portion to be very thick in the direction of the most stress.

There are three minor flaws in the design, kind of. The first is that it is kind of long so holding the grip means that it can be difficult to apply pressure at the other end. I could see this as being a problem for old, weak or fragile people. Even so, it's not hard to just take smaller bites. The second is that I could see the grip eventually splitting and coming off, which would make it hard to use due to the edges. If this happens, I intend to put a bicycle grip in it's place. And the final flaw is one that someone mentioned earlier, that the leather strap is secured only by the rubber grip. If it pulls out, there really isn't a way to attach a new one with the design as it is. None of these things bother me at all, hence the five stars. I'm strong so the length isn't a problem for me. If the grip comes off, I'll replace it with something else and I don't use the strap so I don't care. Worst case, I can just drill a hole through the hole handle and attach a new strap.

I really do think that the simplicity of the design accompanied by the thickness of the metal makes it perfect for me, but I should mention that I hate yard work and avoid it like the plague so this should last a lifetime for me 8-).

I bought this based on the many positive reviews already posted. The reviews were glowing about the strength and versatility of this trowel. The glowing reviews were spot on. This trowel really does seem indestructible. I used it on some virgin ground in my yard that was full of embedded rocks and small stones. This little marvel worked wonders in digging a small trench for this area. It displayed no weakness at in while doing this task, which would likely have destroyed the average garden trowel.

I own the shorter 11" version and love it! I needed a little more digging depth and said I had to have it. This is a must have tool. Don't waste your money on cheap trowel, this one is one that will last to past down you your children and grandchildren.

Nice product

I just received my garden tools last week and use them right away, I was totally amazed at the quality and I'm very happy with them. I would highly recommend these tools. I'm considering ordering another set as I know now how good this set is.

Too pieces seem to work OK so far.. time will tell how well they hold up.. I like that the tool head is part of the handle and not a 'spot weld.' Seems to be better constructed than other tools I have used in the garden over the years...

Heavy duty and fit in my hand comfortably.

Good quality, can't wait until spring.

Nice tools. Good luck trying to register online for their Lifetime Warranty. Their site either doesn't exist or is under construction.

This thing is no joke. Super solid, well built, and with a point on the edge that renders this trowel a suitable weapon in the case of a zombie apocalypse. Can't go wrong with that.

Feels great in the hand and is nice and sharp. I would have loved it to be a little shorter. The shorter one is wider, too wide for me.

Great tool for scooping out deeper holes when metal detecting. I have a digging trowel with a very pointed end and it works fine and is easy to push into the grass or dirt but after you get down below 4" it becomes difficult to fish the hidden treasure up -- always trying to keep the holes as small as possible, right? -- this tool then comes into play with its blunt nose, more like a scoop you go into the predug hole and pull up your treasure on the first try, nearly every time.

Very sturdy, and I like that it was made in the USA. However, I did manage to bend it prying on a root. I don't think that is its intended use, but as a smallish person (5'4", 125lbs), I didn't think I'd be able to bend it. Thankfully it still works well, as opposed to the numerous aluminum trowels I have broken. Apparently I need to go easy on my tools.

this is very sturdy and well made. the size ends up being a bit of a handicap, though. it is just a bit too big for maneuvering in my planter beds between plants. it is, however, perfect for transplanting.

Item came torn up with tools loose - had been returned with dirt on the pieces.

It didn't work for me. The product is high quality. But truly uncomfortable to use. It is too narrow to lift anything properly. Although it is very sharp. The handle is a but slippery even with gloves. If the blade was a tiny bit wider, and hand handle was rubbery and maybe heavier and longer by an inch, I think this product would sell like hot cakes and work better. The blade is the highest quality I have seen, no doubt in that. To me it looks kind of a knife and works better for weeds in narrow area then a trowel.

Very well made and beautiful trowel. It looks like it will last for a long time. But why use leather for the strap? It does not make sense for an animal to have to die to make gardening tools.

Tools arrived loose in the box, and would bang together and fall out the hole in front when moved around. Unfortunately, this was to be a gift.

Needed to use as gift but pieces were loose.

It would be nice if it had a hole for the cord with a top that could be hammered down with a mallet for hard soil or sod. The cord comes out the top, so it's in the way, and if it breaks, you're out of luck. Otherwise, it's pretty nicely made.

Not as good as I expected. The Hori-Hori garden knife is a much better tool

The small "rake" broke the first time used. Junk, don't waste your money. I have no idea why these reviews would say these tools are strong as the prong on the small "rake" broke off?

the packaging was damaged on one. embarrassed to give it

It was opened and cable tie(for holding items) was cut already. 3 items are flying in the box.Also it has light scratches and was covered by soil!!!! Dang!!!!!!!It must be returned from other customer. You should check before send items!!I bought this item for Christmas present for my father in law on this Sunday.I really disappointed with this purchase.

The spade on the trowel is so thick (almost 3/16") that it won't go into normal moist loam. If you are working in only loose potting soil, though, it might be alright there. The claws on the cultivator are just too thick for loamy soil around bushes, as it just won't dig in; but again if you're working only in loose potting soil it might be alright there, too. I'd bump it up a half a star for the very nice rubberized, ergonomic handles, but the handle doesn't do me any good when the working end of the tool is unusable. I need to go after tools made of carbon steel which have a slight edge ground onto the tips in order to be good diggers.

Do garden maint. for a living. Best tool in the my arsenal. Would suggest to any serious gardener. A weeder Needer.
