The Ames True Temper 7 in 1 Planter’s Buddy is a multipurpose tool with a stainless steel blade that’s designed to make fast work of your gardening jobs.

The trowel has a serrated edge on one side, which is great for cutting open bags of fertilizer, and a sharpened straight edge on the other side for cutting sod. It also incorporates a twine cutter and notched trowel for prying up weeds.

The end of the handle is perfect for tamping down dirt or hammering in stakes. It’s also marked in 1” increments along its length for easy measuring.

The Planter’s Buddy is available at The Home Depot.
