C.S. Osborne Planting Dibble No. 219

You might find dibbles out there that are of wood or other materials. Often they have a metal tip that meets the hard ground when you try to make your planting hole---and often that tip comes off and you will never find it again. Thanks for making a durable, handy dibble like this! It's a keeper and has a great feel in your hand.

I one hundred percent recommend this product. It has a nice heft and is very durable and ergonomic. I use it to plant grass plugs (that I grow myself) and to fill-in squirrel and chipmunk holes in my lawn with a lawn patch mixture (also self-developed). I tried several wood dibbles with a metal tip that fell apart and a plastic dibble that didn't last either. This is the best-in-class!

Sturdy and works great!

High quality design & solid

I wish it had a rubber/non-slip handle not just for stability, but since it is metal, it absorbs heat from my hand. I have rather severe Renaud's and without gloves...I prefer not wearing them when feasible...it can be very difficult to hold on to the tool. Also, a hole for a thong would be nice. Still, a great, strong tool.

This is a well made piece however it would be nice if there were measurements marked on it. Haven't used it yet, but I am sure it will do the job.

This tool will probably last forever. Its a single piece of metal. There is no sharp point to come off and no handle to break or come loose. It has good heft which helps to make a nice hole in ground for dropping ina seed or bulb. It does seem the taper is rather narrow for most of the flower bulbs with which I am familiar.Nevertheless, winding the tool around in the initial hole to widen it is not difficult to accomplish. There is good value for money in this purchase.
