Vent: My old trowel snapped in half at a dig site near Tucson

I was working on a grid square, carefully scraping back a layer, and the blade just gave out right at the handle. It was a Marshalltown I've had for over ten years, and now I'm stuck trying to finish the day with a backup that feels wrong in my hand. What's a good, sturdy trowel brand that can handle hard-packed desert soil?

A Marshalltown lasting ten years out there is a miracle. That desert soil is brutal on tools. You might want to check out WHS trowels, they're built like tanks.

Yeah, that desert soil really does destroy everything.
