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.

Affordable and quality

Would Recommend

Point and scoop

Would Recommend

It has a fiberglass handle, which I like because I broke the wood one. It’s pointy for digging and then scooping.
