What Customers Are Saying

Customers are divided on this shovel. Most praise its lightweight fiberglass handle and affordability for occasional light gardening, noting it reduces fatigue and works well for small tasks. However, many report the shovel breaks, bends, or fails on first use when encountering rocks or roots, with the handle snapping or blade bending under minimal stress. Some accept this fragility as a trade-off for the low price, using it only for loose soil work. Overall, reviewers recommend it strictly for light, non-demanding tasks, not for moderate or heavy digging.

It's a shovel, moves dirt.

Would Recommend

Seems like a decent enough product. Used it one time only so far, so hard to know if it'll last the long haul.

You get what you pay for

Would Not Recommend

In the store this looked like a good shovel - once I was using it at home , not so much. It just didn't stand up to digging in CT fields and dirt for gardening. It was flexing on the first shovel and broke after a couple more. Granted, I'm not easy on tools but this just doesn't take heavy work.

Shovel

Would Recommend

The handle on our old shovel broke while using it so we replaced it with this shovel. It was cheaper to replace the entire shovel rather than just buy a handle and try to secure it.

I am confident that I will break this shovel

Very flimsy— I don’t see it lasting more than a few months before it bends or snaps
