BoglerCo Ultralight Trowel - is a high-grade aluminum trowel with palm protecting end cap and serrated edge designed to be used by ultralight backpackers and hikers. Weighs next to nothing and the serrated edge is excellent at cutting small roots.
The plastic end is a game changer to make it more pleasant to use than other ultralight trowels because it doesn’t dig into your palm. Made of super tough aircraft grade aluminum which has a strength to weight ratio rivaling that of the highest grade titanium. Use it to pry through rocky soil without fear of bending or damaging the tip.
Please note: Do not use this product in a fire. Exposure to open flame will change the heat treatment properties of the metal, weakening it.

BoglerCo says:
"To demonstrate the strength of this trowel I used a rock to hammer it into the hardest ground I could find and pulled back on the handle with a pull scale using a stick for leverage. It read 42 lb of force before it threw a big chunk of dirt and rocks into the air. The trowel was not damaged."
"These trowels are not anodized because it does not add anything to the functionality of the tool and the process involves toxic chemicals that I don’t want in my home shop or our environment. A well-used trowel gains a simple rustic aesthetic all its own."
