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.

Get what you pay for

I liked the price and got what I expected from it. Immediately bent on the first shovel in the soil, then twisted. It worked for what I purchased it for and I got what I expected from a 17 $ shovel. Good shovel for "light" work...

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.
