TIPS & TRICKS
– Use the Scoop Hand Tool for multiple purposes in the garden to increase your efficiency. Scoop out holes for planting as well as transfer soil, compost, and fertilizers from their containers directly to the desired locations.
– Instead of reaching for a knife or another blade, use the serrated tip on the scoop to open all types of bags from fertilizer to seed.
– For proper grip, hold the trowel firmly but comfortably, similar to how you would hold a hammer. This will reduce hand fatigue and give you better control.
– For digging holes or planting, use your wrist and forearm to drive the trowel into the soil, then lever it back to create a hole. For additional force, place the palm of your hand on the rounded end of the grip and push. Avoid using too much force to prevent strain on your body.
– Use the sturdy serrated tip on this scoop to cut through roots, and work efficiently with only one tool.

Excellent tool, but a little heavy if you have hands/wrists prone to aches. I was really happy to find this large scoop. Price is very reasonable for this tool and I love that it has teeth and the larger capacity as well as the longer handle and good grip. My only ding of the one star is because I have small hands and my wrists and hands get sore with extended use and or with extra exertion (weight, pressure etc). So it deserves 5 stars, imo, if that isn't an issue for you. I don't know if I'll be able to find a better large-volume, durable scoop that doesn't incur some of that. A strong plastic might, but I've yet to find one. I would still be glad to have this one in my arsenal for occasions where I need that stronger, toothed option even if I do find another lighter scoop. I had also bought an aluminum "ice scoop" but the handle was so small that it wasn't to my liking for prolonged scooping. Probably fine if you're just transferring a couple scoops of ice or flour or whatever, but for lots of scooping of soil into containers, I felt those were not good ergonomics at all. In contrast, this scoop has a full-sized handle and comfortable rubber grip, so I returned the aluminum. Been using this one on some wet cactus medium that with the high mineral content tends to be heavy and compacted, (vs potting soil), and it's been great for cutting into that soil. Enjoy!
