It snapped in two after 3 weeks of use!
I bought this trowel because I thought it isn’t the lightest on the website but surely it has to be more durable/strong than some of the alternatives. It is made of some sort of hardened plastic (which means it will snap and not bend if overwhelmed) and is small enough to pack into a side pouch. If buying this product bear in mind to still be rather careful when digging your holes (basically go at it slowly and bit by bit) which for daily use on a long trip isn’t always possible (depending on ground conditions). I will now be trying the lighter, slightly more expensive option and try to be as careful as I can can with it.

a revelation!
I've owned a toilet trowel before and found that one to be really complimentary to a holistic outdoors experience, but the Cathole raises the bar somewhat - with it's gradations printed into the trowel for easy toilet digging to it's saw edge and ergonomic handle.
