Long garden trowel handle | |
 | A long garden trowel handle is over 160mm (6.3″) long. It is used for hard-to-reach areas for weeding or planting seedlings with long roots. It also has a ‘bulb’ design on the end of the handle to prevent the user’s hands from slipping. It is only available for traditional and transplanting garden trowel blades. |
P-grip garden trowel handle | |
 | A p-grip garden trowel handle is 177.8mm (7″) with a T-section on the end. It can be used with either one or two hands, making it perfect for people suffering from arthritis and carpal tunnel. This handle provides added leverage and torque for the user to push it into the ground. It is only available with a traditional garden trowel blade. |
Ergonomic garden trowel handle | |
 | An ergonomic handle has a radius grip – a curved handle which is designed to fit the palm of your hand. It allows the user to maintain a natural wrist position while they are digging. This means that there is less strain on your wrist. It is available with either a transplanting or traditional garden trowel blade. |
