## Overview

The BoglerCo Ultralight Backpacking Trowel weighs a mere 0.48 oz (13.5g), crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum for unmatched strength-to-weight ratio. Featuring a patented ergonomic end cap for comfort and dual serrated edges for versatile digging, this minimalist 7.25-inch tool is designed for ultralight backpackers and outdoor pros. Backed by a lifetime warranty and made in the USA, it doubles as a tent stake, shoehorn, and more—perfect for those who demand durable, multipurpose gear without the bulk.

## Description

Please note: This is an ULTRALIGHT tool and is extremely lightweight. It is specifically designed for those seeking ultra-lightweight yet reliable gear. Weight: 0.48 oz (13.5 g) Overall length: 7.25 inches Patent Pending design hand made in the USA. This small shovel is designed to be used by ultralight backpackers and hikers as a potty trowel. Lifetime Warranty against breakage under normal use conditions. Made of super tough aircraft grade aluminum with a strength to weight ratio rivaling that of the highest grade titanium. Use it to pry through rocky soil without fear of bending or damaging the tip. The thin edge cuts cleanly through turf and small roots. The serrated edge cuts through medium roots. The end cap provides comfort and digging power. Use full force while digging without the handle cutting into your palm. The UV-resistant plastic end cap is attached with 2 stainless steel screws. Holes along the spine improve grip while digging. Also thread a rope through the two holes in the center of the trowel to use it as a deadman anchor. Also makes a great spare tent stake, shoehorn and flyswatter. This pocket sized, virtually weightless shovel is also a great companion for gardening and metal detecting. These trowels are not anodized because the process involves toxic chemicals that I don’t want in my home shop or our environment. The surface will show wear, however a well-used trowel gains a simple rustic aesthetic all its own. Do not use this product in fire. Exposure to open flame will change the heat treatment properties of the metal, weakening it.

Review: Solid trowel for how lightweight it is and has lasted me 3+ years and counting. - I've used a few different versions of an ultralight trowels and this is one of the best. It's got a sturdy design and performs as expected. I've had mine now for over 3 years and it's holding up fine. Price is fair. Size is easily packable.
Review: Well made backpacking trowel for digging cat holes - This trowel was well reviewed by Dan Becker and I thought it would be a nice, light replacement for my homemade aluminum angle iron trowel. This trowel by Bogler is well made and will be easier on my hands with its plastic handle tip. Post 1st use Edit: This trowel works fine in somewhat loose soil with small roots. I haven't tried it in rocky soil but it might struggle there. I think with careful use this trowel will do the job in most conditions I will run into in the Rocky Mountains. First use impressions after 8 day backpack trip: This tool really works well as long as some care is taken. In 8 days of use it shows no wear and is ready for more trips.
