Aluminum garden trowels are strong and lightweight. Aluminum resists corrosion, so if you accidentally leave your hand trowel out in the rain, it will not rust. Since aluminum garden trowels are cast in one piece, the blade will not seperate from the handle like it will with some other types of trowels.
But, aluminum is a soft metal. So it will not hold a sharp edge, like a steel trowel will. Since it is not a strong as steel, aluminum garden trowels may bend easier if you are digging in heavy soil. The blades of an aluminum trowel may also chip if you strike a rock while digging.
Aluminum garden hand trowels usually have a plastic grip on the handle to cushion you hand. Rubberized grips are easier on the hand than the polypropylene ones.
