Review: Me gusta mucho esta máquina Review: Buying parts after 2 months review parts cost first! - It was easy to assemble, Crappy durability, extremely crappy quality. Not worth the money. Barely any power. Now let me explain. I trench lines for a living, so at first this was a win. Then like everything new, you need to adjust to the reality. The strap is useless if you're 6ft because the angle it trenches at is a set angle so you have a slight hunch the whole time you trench (hurt back after use). I bought a handle that kinda fixed that for the most part.. Okay whatever. Next I realized the store has a stupid cost for replacement parts (look into the parts cost before buying, it's important.) I had to replace parts within 1 month of constant use. Then discovered the gearbox went out completely (see images of the type of soil it went out in) sandish soil. The gear box has plastic parts inside it, then if it gets hot for longer use it melts the inside and then $700 for a new gearbox. Then they said I need to use it in loose dirt🤣! What is a trencher in loose dirt? Then said if I want better trenching performance to buy their $180 badger blade (that should be the standard if it makes your product useful!) I spent $1600 on it then I sent it back and they said I used it in the wrong soil, so no warranty. They repaired it for another $400. So, $2,000 in 2 months was not profitable. After that you'll be buying parts monthly. If there are good reviews, then they don't trench for a living. ## Features - Handheld Trencher used for for irrigation, low-voltage wiring, fiber optics, landscaping, silt fencing, and many other installation applications. - Trencher can be used with dual blade (standard setup) for 2.5" wide trench or Single Blade use for 0.75" to 1" wide trench. - Light weight trencher starting at only 24lbs.

The blades still work but you can tell the difference in performance as the tips wear out. The blades have bounced off a few rocks and I am sure that rocky soils have something to do with how quick the tips wear. I was most impressed with how new blades cute thru palm roots with ease within a foot of the base of large royal palms. I would suggest having a spare set of blades on your truck. **Q: Where can new blades be purchased?** A: You can order blades right off the TrenchBadger website. **Q: Can the blades be sharpened or just thrown away when they dull?** A: Blades can be sharpened if needed. This is typically purposeful on root-ridden soils. **Q: Will this work in clay soils?** A: Yes, it will work in clay soils. But the wetter, more saturated the clay, the greater likelihood it will stick to the blades. Excess build up of wet clay on the blades will damage the drive unit. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by Y***R on October 17, 2025* Me gusta mucho esta máquina ### ⭐ Buying parts after 2 months review parts cost first! *by R***Y on February 21, 2026* It was easy to assemble, Crappy durability, extremely crappy quality.

I use this for any job in which I might have gotten my shovel, pick axe or hoe out for before. very powerful engine and it starts easily on first pull every time. ## Frequently Bought Together - TrenchBadger Pro 12 Mini Trencher - HYDROTOOLS BY SWIMLINE 8725 Large Capacity Pool & Spa Chemical Dispenser | Compatible With Bromine & Chlorine Supports 1-3’’ Tablets | Adjustable Control Ring For Customizable Flow Rate - INTEX 28023E Pool Cover: For 15ft Round Easy Set Pools – Includes Rope Tie – Drain Holes – 12in Overhang – Snug Fit --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co/products/130081291-pro-12-mini-trencher-2-5-cutting-width-12-cutting](https://www.desertcart.co/products/130081291-pro-12-mini-trencher-2-5-cutting-width-12-cutting) --- *Product available on Desertcart Colombia* *Store origin: CO* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
