A pointed trowel is a small hand tool commonly used in gardening and masonry. It features a narrow, pointed blade that allows for precise digging, planting, and transferring of soil or materials. The design makes it ideal for working in tight spaces or around delicate plants. These trowels are often made from stainless steel or carbon steel, providing durability and resistance to rust. Gardeners frequently use pointed trowels for tasks such as planting bulbs or seedlings, while masons may use them for applying mortar in small areas. Their versatility makes them a staple in both gardening and construction.
