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.

The price was right! It took care of my gardening needs. I also like that it has the pointy tip for digging up the hard dirt.

.
Would RecommendIt was able to dig fairly easily through even some clay. The blade did bend almost 60 degrees at one point, but it returned to its previous shape and I haven’t noticed any issues since.

Lightweight but Lacks Sturdiness
Would Not RecommendThis shovel is very lightweight, which makes it easy to carry around and handle for quick tasks in the yard or garden. However, the build quality feels quite flimsy and not very durable, especially when dealing with tougher soil or heavier loads. It may work fine for light-duty use, but it doesn’t inspire much confidence for long-term or heavy use.

Waste of money
Would Not RecommendOnly purchased because the winter ice/snow storms and this was the only shovel left. The metal is so thin when you try to dig, it just bends and cannot support my weight. The wood core at the bottom is too short and at the pivot point it easily snapped. Weak.
Great shovel!
Would RecommendBought online, shipped very fast, no issues with the packaging or product being damaged. It was exactly what I was looking for and at a very fair price! Used it already to clear up a bunch of weeds in the back, it's very sturdy!
