 My favorite garden tool Jun 19, 2010
By J.Z.
This is my favorite garden tool. It's extremely sturdy. It won't fall apart, and it won't rust. It holds up well to constant use, even in my soil which is mostly clay. In the past, I've used cheaper hand trowels that bend over time, or the handle falls off, or it rusts. Having used my Radius transplanter for over a year now, I know it will last for the rest of my gardening years.
I spend a lot of time in my flower gardens, and I needed a good tool that was comfortable to use. That's the primary reason I wanted to try the Radius tools in the first place. I used to get sore spots in the palm of my hand if I did much digging with other hand trowels. The curved grip on this transplanter is ideal. My days of painful palms are over, now that I have this tool. It's just a pleasure to use.
I also have the Radius hand trowel and the weeder, but this transplanter is the one tool I reach for 9 times out of 10. I know they call this a transplanter, but I use it for most of my garden chores that require a hand trowel. I like using this transplanter more than the hand trowel because the blade is longer, so I can dig a deeper hole. That's especially important when planting flower bulbs in the autumn. I should also mention that the blade on the transplanter is narrower than the blade on the hand trowel. So, if you prefer a trowel with a blade that is shorter but wider than this transplanter, then you'll want to buy the Radius hand trowel instead.
I've used many different hand trowels over the years, but this is the best one I've ever used. Yes, it's more money than some other garden hand tools, but because it won't rust or fall apart, I think it's worth the extra money. And that curved handle makes gardening easier than it was before because it gives me the leverage to dig much easier than I could with other hand trowels. If you're going to try just one of the Radius garden tools, I highly recommend this one as your first Radius purchase. If you have a garden friend, buy this for them. They will never stop thanking you. Like I said... this is my favorite garden tool. I guess that's the highest compliment a gardener could give a tool.

Best Gardening Gift I've Received! Apr 26, 2011
By HappyMommy
I received this transplanter as a gift. I have used it several times already for dividing perennial grasses in rocky soil and transplanting seedlings. This transplanter feels lightweight but yet it is the most durable of all of my trowels. In the past, I have bent all of my standard trowels while trying to divide perennials and also strained myself trying to get enough pressure forced onto the standard trowel to actually split the perennials. This transplanter's curved hand rest allows you to exert much more force with less effort and the blade is showing no signs of bending yet. I'm going to be getting one of these for my mother-in-law who is also an avid gardener. This will be the one tool that I can't live without now.

My wife got this for Christmas last year. She loves it and uses it almost every day. Very sturdy. In this part of texas we have a lot of rocks and it stands up to the toughest chore. Great product, worth the money

Makes digging in the dirt a joy Oct 24, 2009
By K. Phillips
I used this tool all summer when transplanting perennials and annuals in my garden. The long spade really gets down deep in the soil. I much prefer it to other spades I have used. The ergonomic handle design is also quite comfortable when using a lot of force in the soil to dig. I would recommend it.
