Why it earns a look
- A compact handle fits close working areas.
- The steel head offers a chopping format alongside ordinary hand tools.
Where it asks for a compromise
- The short working distance requires bending or kneeling.
A compact mattock for a planting spot
The short handle makes this a focused tool for a small patch rather than a substitute for a long garden hoe. Check what is beneath the surface before swinging the head. Once the patch is loosened, a trowel is a better shape for lifting a neat planting hole.
Living with it in the garden
Use short controlled movements near plants.
Clean soil from the head and tines after use.

How long is the handle?
This small planting mattock has a 14-inch handle.
What does the two-sided head add?
The two working faces let you change the tool angle for small planting and soil-loosening jobs. It remains a short hand tool, so choose a longer format for broad standing work.
