Stainless Steel Utility Trowel with 3" Blade

• One-Piece 16-Gauge Stainless Steel 
• Depth Marks To 6" 
• 14" Overall Length
• Made In The USA With Lifetime Warranty

The Wilcox Stainless Steel Utility Trowel with 3" Blade tackles bulb planting, clod breaking, and tight digging in tough soil. It’s made from a single piece of 16-gauge stainless steel, so there’s no weak joint where the handle meets the blade, and it won’t rust after a wet day in the garden. The sharp point and beveled edges help it pierce compacted ground cleanly, and the 3-inch width gives you control when you’re working close to crowns and roots. 

Depth markings on the inside of the blade make repeat planting easier, especially when you’re setting bulbs or dropping transplants to a consistent level. The 4-1/2" plastic grip feels secure in the hand, and the leather strap gives you a simple hang point on a peg rack or tool hook. It’s a straightforward tool, but it’s built like the last one you’ll need.

Product Specs

Product Tips

• Use the depth marks to keep bulb and transplant depth consistent across a bed.
• In compacted soil, pierce straight down, then rock slightly to open the hole instead of twisting hard.
• For clay clods, use the beveled edges to slice and lift, then crumble the clod before backfilling.
• Rinse after use and wipe dry; stainless won’t rust, but clean tools stay sharper and feel better.
• Hang by the leather strap so the edge isn’t bouncing around in a bucket.

FAQs

What makes this trowel “utility” grade?

It’s built from one-piece 16-gauge stainless steel, so it’s made for heavier digging without bending or breaking at the handle joint.

How to use the Stainless Steel Utility Trowel with 3" Blade?

Use the pointed tip to start the hole, then push the blade down to your target depth using the etched markings as a guide. Wiggle the handle slightly to widen the pocket, set your bulb or plant, and use the trowel’s back curve to pull soil back into place. Finish by firming soil with your hand and watering in.

Are there depth markings?

Yes. The inside of the blade includes depth markings up to 6 inches and 15 cm for quick reference.

Does it come with a strap?

Yes. It has a leather hand strap for carrying/hanging (not always shown in photos).

Where is it made and what warranty does it have?

Wilcox makes it in the USA and covers it with a lifetime warranty.
