Junk

Would Not Recommend

I admit I have had this shovel for about 2 years but it was rarely used, and never for any heavy digging work. I was digging around some small shrubs and gently levering up with the shovel to dig up the shrub to transplant SNAP! The fiberglass handle snapped right where it connects to the head. Should not have happened. Project source tools are cheaply made.

started using this and the handle cracked within minutes. Figuring it was a dud, I exchanged it, but the same thing happened with the replacement.

Alright. I’m not the type so waste my time writing a review but this thing… Yikes. Hit a 1 inch thick root and it literally exploded fiberglass all over the place. Now I’m walking around lookin like I’m tweekin itchy as heck. Better off with the old fashion wood one vs this.

Pointed shovel to use

The shovel I had didn't have a point. It had an inverted v but it's probably as old as I am

For decoration use only!

Would Not Recommend

Sure the handle is fiberglass but the head is secured by a single rivet. The head is thin gauge metal that deforms when you step on it. It broke the first time I used it to dig up some turf. This is NOT a shovel. It's a decoration that looks like a shovel. It went right in the trash.
