The digging end of the planter is about 5/8" wide and about 3 1/2" tall. The handle is solid hardwood. Each planter will have a few characteristic dings in the copper from being handmade. The tool measures 13.5" in total length and weighs around 1 pound.

The copper used in our tools is 1/4 hard copper which is much harder and wear-resistant than the standard copper you are probably familiar with. These tools are designed for gardening and not heavy excavation or prying. Even though these tools are made from hardened copper they are not as rugged as steel tools and therefore will acquire dings and dents from working the soil. Why are the tools so heavy? In order to provide a heavy-duty and rugged tool and still make it out of copper we chose to make our tools out of 1/4" thick copper. This adds weight to the tool but also adds durability. Will my copper tools turn green over time? No, they will not turn green unless you left them outside in the weather so the acid rain could get them over time. Ground water and acid soil alone are not enough to make your tools green.
