Burgon & Ball - RHS Stainless Groundbreaker Trowel – Heavy-Duty Sharpened Planting Tool

Burgon & Ball RHS Stainless Groundbreaker Trowel – Heavy-Duty Sharpened Planting Tool

The Burgon & Ball RHS Stainless Groundbreaker Trowel is the ultimate hand tool for tackling "un-diggable" ground. Mirroring the innovative design of the full-sized Groundbreaker spade, this trowel features a distinctively pointed and sharpened head that concentrates force to slice through compacted clay, stony soil, and stubborn roots with ease. It combines the aggressive cutting power of a spade with the precision and portability of a hand trowel, making it an indispensable asset for challenging garden environments.

Best For: Gardeners working in heavy, sun-baked, or rocky soils where standard round-nosed trowels struggle to penetrate the surface.

Key Features

• Sharpened Groundbreaker Tip: The uniquely pointed head is designed to bite into hard surfaces, slicing through obstructions rather than bouncing off them, significantly reducing the effort required to dig.

• High-Capacity Dish: Despite its sharpened point, the blade maintains a wide, deep-dish profile to ensure maximum soil carriage with every scoop, perfect for efficient planting.

• Rust-Resistant Stainless Steel: The mirror-polished head not only provides exceptional rust resistance but also ensures the tool glides cleanly through sticky or heavy soil types.

• Ergonomic Hardwood Handle: Crafted from FSC-certified hardwood, the handle is shaped for a comfortable, secure grip, allowing for maximum leverage when prying or digging.

• RHS Endorsement: Officially endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society and protected by a lifetime guarantee, ensuring this heavy-duty tool is built to last through years of intensive use.
