Shovel/Trowel Proline 40071 — hand shovel for gardening and planting, 1 piece

Proline 40071 is a compact hand shovel and trowel designed for everyday gardening tasks such as planting, transplanting, weeding and soil aeration. Supplied as a single piece, this tool combines a hardened steel blade with an ergonomic handle to deliver durability and comfortable handling for small-scale garden work in flower beds, vegetable patches and potted plants.

Advantages

The hardened steel blade provides resistance to bending and wear during digging and soil penetration, while the ergonomic handle reduces hand fatigue and improves control when working in tight spaces. Its compact size makes the tool easy to manoeuvre around plants and in containers, and the solid construction ensures reliable performance for home gardeners and light landscaping tasks.

Suitable for

• Planting bulbs, seedlings and small plants
• Weeding between rows and in pots
• Loosening and aerating soil in beds and containers
• Transplanting and small digging jobs

Key specifications

• Blade material: hardened steel for increased durability
• Handle type: ergonomic design for improved grip and reduced fatigue
• Tool type: handheld shovel / trowel, single-piece supply
• Intended use: garden beds, vegetable plots, potted plants and small landscaping tasks

How to use

Hold the ergonomic handle firmly and place the blade at the intended planting or weeding point. Use a rocking or levering motion to penetrate compacted soil, then lift or loosen soil as required. For planting, dig a hole of appropriate depth, position the plant or bulb and backfill with soil, pressing gently to remove air pockets. Clean the blade after use and store the tool in a dry place to minimise corrosion and maintain the performance of the hardened steel.

Usage recommendations

Wear gardening gloves to protect hands and improve grip, especially when working in dense or stony soil. Rinse and dry the blade after use; apply a light coating of oil periodically to protect the hardened steel from surface rust. Use the tool for intended small-scale tasks to avoid excessive strain on the handle or blade.
