I do lots of gardening around my yard during the growing season, and found I needed a new transplanter to replace a couple I had that got either lost or broken. I found this one to work very well, and really liked the way it felt on my hands, especially when having to break through our soil, which has lots of clay. The blade is nice and thick, and doesn't get misshapened during use, which makes it well worth the money. The only small knock I might find with it is I'd like the blade to be a bit wider, but that certainly doesn't take away from it being a quality product overall.
