From the Manufacturer
Discover garden tools unlike any you've ever held before. The Radius Garden Natural Radius Grip garden tools were designed using the most current research into human factors and tool usage. The patent-pending, Natural Radius Grip, maximizes your power and comfort while minimizing hand and wrist stress. Traditional garden tools force you to use your hands and wrists in a way that can cause injuries. The curve of the grip matches the curve of the palm of your hand. This allows you to hold the tools with your wrist in a safe, neutral position at all angles of attack. This maximizes power and comfort while minimizing wrist and hand stress. The large grips on Radius tools allow you to hold the tool securely without exerting pressure and wasting your energy. The blades of these tools are made of a special aluminum/magnesium alloy. It weighs less than conventional die cast aluminum, but has strength similar to steel. The tools are lighter weight yet have equal or greater strength than traditional garden tools. The advanced ergonomic design should make gardening easier and more enjoyable.

Customer Reviews

Pretty, But not Ergonomic
This is pretty common lately. It's a pretty trowel, but unless you have hands shaped like half-moons it's not so easy to grip efficiently. Trowels should provide utility, not attractive good looks.

Great design
Great design, you can work all day and not hurt you hands. It does take a little time to re-train you hands, but it is clearly better. Better leverage also. Regular garden tools seem so primitive when you get used to these.

The blade and the handle are one piece of metal so no problems with handles coming loose or breaking.

The only bad thing I can say is they take up more room in a toolbox because of the curved handles. But well worth the space.

I have the whole set of hand tools, plus 2 shovels and a pitchfork. All great. Truly, the next step in garden tools.

radius grip trowel
My trouble with trowels is that I can overpower them and bend or break the shaft. That's not a problem with this one. It is very sturdy. I lowered the rating because the handle is green, absolutely the dumbest color for a garden implement. I lose it regularly in the flowers and am considering wrapping the handle in red duct tape.
