Strong, comfortable and unbelievably lightweight
By far the best backpacking trowel that I've used - strong, comfortable and unbelievably lightweight at only 14 grams. Look no further!

Ultra light and it's been strong enough for my backpacking trips.

When You Ned to Dig A Small Hole
Very lightweight. May struggle on thicker roots but at this weight this is the perfect backpacking trowel.

Robust and very light
Does what it says on the tin (or aluminium). Surprisingly robust, amazingly light. You're not going to cut through roots with this, but perfectly adequate on soft(ish) ground.

It's so light! and does the job.
Very light and very robust. Perfect for ultralight backpacking. I've not yet found terrain that it can't dig a hole in - but if I do then I can use a tent peg or 'nail' to 'stab' at the ground, (esp. when the ground is frozen ) and then use the trowel to clear out loose material and refill. The orange plastic end piece provides good cushioning for the palm when digging. It's a minimalist design that does the job.

Just the jobby
All looks good. Very lightweight so need to not push it too hard on hard ground, but should perform in normal soil, soft clay etc. I'm pleased.

Ultralight Game Changer
This is a phenomenal little trowel. It is so light that I genuinely thought I'd been sent an empty package. It's so strong, and the little plastic handle means you're actually digging the ground rather than your hand. All my backpacking friends will be getting them for Christmas. Superb!

It may be a small item, but a bad trowel will cause a lot of frustration or pain. Either because the trowel can't cut through grassroots or because it digs into your hand instead of the ground. This trowel has some serrated edges, meaning one can cut through roots relatively well and the plastic top on the handle along with the shape of the handle really make it a lot more comfortable to use even in hard soil. With other trowels, I would almost always end up having marks on my hand. Coming in at just 14 g on my scales, this is one of the lightest trowels I've come across and it's nice and packable too. All in all my absolute favourite trowel and I would highly recommend getting one if you like hiking or bikepacking. It's worth the higher price point. The next time you have to dig a hole, you'll be thankful you bought it.

Este producto no solo es ligero, es resistente, ergonómico y de muy alta calidad. Por precio y calidad lo recomiendo ampliamente ya que no solo sirve para escarbar si no también para usarlo como estaca por los orificios que tiene resulta muy fácil utilizarlo como tal.

I was weirdly excited to be able to finally own a BoglerCo trowel - to have an original top-of-the-line product and not to be constantly looking for something better. It was a bit of a luxury purchase, but I have no regrets and it'll replace a larger cumbersome plastic trowel that can't handle most hard soils. It is so incredibly lightweight that it'll be an easy choice to take whenever I hike. And I’m pleased to support an enthusiastic small business owner who truly cares about quality, functionality, and continually improving and refining his product.

Keurig op tijd geleverd. Perfecte schep voor onze backpackingen. Zeer licht van gewicht maar voelt nog steeds solide aan. Ik kan deze aanbevelen.

This trowel was well reviewed by Dan Becker and I thought it would be a nice, light replacement for my homemade aluminum angle iron trowel. This trowel by Bogler is well made and will be easier on my hands with its plastic handle tip. Post 1st use Edit: This trowel works fine in somewhat loose soil with small roots. I haven't tried it in rocky soil but it might struggle there. I think with careful use this trowel will do the job in most conditions I will run into in the Rocky Mountains. First use impressions after 8 day backpack trip: This tool really works well as long as some care is taken. In 8 days of use it shows no wear and is ready for more trips.
