Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this shovel for its exceptional durability, robust construction, and reliability under heavy use. The lifetime warranty, professional-grade build, thick metal base, fiberglass handle, and reinforced blade-shaft joint are frequently cited as decisive factors. Reviewers consistently highlight its performance in demanding tasks like digging through roots, compacted soil, and snow, with many appreciating the weight as beneficial for momentum and power. The 51-inch fiberglass handle receives strong approval, particularly from taller users seeking reduced strain and improved leverage. A few note the weight may be excessive for casual use, and one mentioned paint chipping, but these concerns are vastly outweighed by overwhelming consensus on durability and performance.

Very Effective Digging Shovel
Would RecommendThis shovel is very effective in allowing you to easily dig deep and uproot what you need from the ground with great, heavy, strong leverage that you can make using your bodyweight to press down on the provided foot pieces.

Could be a bender's game
Would RecommendNice, solid shovel with a decent weight. Metal feels a tad bit flimsy under heavy load. Better than the competition at Lowe's, but pricier too.
Solid
Would RecommendHeld up well with digging post holes in rocky soil.
Great quality shovel
Would RecommendThis is a fantastic shovel. I dig test pits for work in all kinds of soil, and this has been a very reliable shovel. The weight might not be great for casual use, but when you're trying to dig deep, quickly and efficiently, it's wonderful. The paint on the handle comes off almost right away, but I personally don't need a pretty shovel. As a Marshalltown trowel user, I was really excited to see a shovel by them.
Solid shovel
Would RecommendThe shovel has a metal handle that feels much more durable than a wooden or fiberglass handle. Might be too heavy for children though

It's a shovel
Would RecommendIt's a good shovel. It was a little overpriced however it beats the thin metal on the cheap shovel
Great for digging holes
Can't find a metal shovel but this ones gets it done with ease
Verified Purchaser
Premium shovel
Would RecommendI like a well-balanced tool and a shovel has to be unbreakable. This one is a premium price but appears to meet my need for quality tools. I like the longer handle.
Verified Purchaser
Great for price
Would RecommendWork just as it should, sturdy solid design that digs good
Very well built shovel
Would RecommendI use Marshalltown tools everyday as a concrete finisher so thought I would try out their yard tool line. They’re a bit heavier than most other shovels I observed at Lowe’s but they’re built to be heavy duty. They come with a lifetime warranty which is an added bonus. I doubt I’ll be breaking this anytime soon with how durable they’re built but at least I’ll have peace of mind with the lifetime warranty. All in all I would say if you’re looking for a shovel that’s gonna last this is it.
