WHAT WE THINK
At Valley and Peak, we know how important it is to travel light when camping, and the Coghlan's Backpacker's Trowel is a great choice for those looking to minimise weight while still being prepared.
While the Coghlan's Trowel is perfect for lighter tasks like digging a cat hole or securing tent pegs, it does have its limitations. Its plastic construction may bend or break when used on harder, rocky ground, making it less suited for more demanding conditions or deeper digging.
For campers who prioritise portability and value, this trowel offers excellent performance at an affordable price. However, if you’re planning on tackling tougher terrain or require a more durable tool for heavy-duty tasks, you might want to consider a sturdier metal trowel. For most casual campers, though, the Coghlan’s Backpacker’s Trowel is a solid and practical choice. -
