The product has received mixed reviews. Some users found it suitable for light gardening tasks, while the majority reported issues with poor quality and lack of durability. The main problems cited were the handle breaking easily and the blade being flimsy and bending when stepped on. A few users found the shovel lightweight and easy to use, but the overall sentiment is that it is a low-quality, inexpensive tool that is not worth the money.

Bendable Metal

This shovel did the job -- the metal part is bendable though, so be careful. However, it is reasonably priced -- so you get the quality that you pay for.

Good shovel for a good price

Would Recommend

I'm only writing this review because I almost didn't buy this shovel due to the bad reviews. But then I thought, wtheck, I can just return it if it's really that bad. Thankfully, it worked just fine. My husband removed the roots of multiple bushes from our flower bed with this shovel and had no issues, and our Texas clay soil is pretty hard.

Not Very Robust.

Would Not Recommend

It was going OK until the handle snapped off. This was the first time I had used it. Either I don't know my own strength, or the quality isn't there. Given that I am in my sixties I think the later is more likely! My advice is to pay the extra to get better quality
