The Spear & Jackson Elements Long Handled Trowel 4061NB/09 combines the versatility of a garden trowel with an extended handle for improved reach. Designed for digging and cultivating, the longer handle is particularly useful when working in beds and borders, helping to reduce the amount of bending required during everyday gardening jobs.
Its heat-treated and hardened carbon steel head provides strength and durability, while a hammer-finish powder coating improves resistance to rust, scratches, humidity and alkalis in the soil. The tool is finished with a clear-lacquered, weatherproofed ash wood handle and a handy leather wrist strap for carrying or hanging the trowel after use.
Extra reach – the long handle makes it easier to work further into beds and borders.
Less bending – designed to help reduce back strain compared with a short-handled trowel.
Strong carbon steel head – heat-treated and hardened for durability.
Protective finish – powder coating improves resistance to rust, scratches, humidity and soil alkalis.
Practical storage – the leather wrist strap can also be used to hang the tool when not in use.

Use the trowel for everyday light digging and cultivating work in garden beds and borders. The extended handle provides additional reach, allowing you to work further into planted areas while reducing the need to bend as far as you would with a conventional short-handled trowel.
Push the carbon steel head into the soil and use controlled movements when loosening or moving soil. Avoid applying excessive leverage against hard obstructions such as large stones or roots.
Remove adhering soil from the trowel head after use and allow the tool to dry before storage. Use the leather strap to hang the trowel conveniently in a shed or other dry storage area.

Clean soil from the carbon steel head after use and allow the tool to dry thoroughly. Store in a dry, sheltered location, preferably hanging from the integrated leather strap, to help maintain the head coating and wooden handle.
