Editorial Reviews:
The Fiskars long handle digging shovel features an all-steel construction for heavy-duty strength and durability. The shovel's blade features an oversized step for additional leverage and comfort, and comes pre-sharpened to cut through the ground easier. Ideal for personal or professional use, the teardrop-shaped shaft provides ergonomic comfort and control during use. For added strength, the blade itself is directly welded onto the shaft, and the entire shovel is powder-coated to prevent rust. This tool comes with a limited lifetime warranty.

Summary: Best shovel ever made
Comment: I've owned this shovel for two years and I'm here to say that it's the best constructed shovel I've ever seen. I've broken fiberglass and wood-handled shovels. I've had them come apart at the handle-blade connection. Not this shovel. All metal construction, the handle is all one piece and welded to the blade. The most important aspect of a shovel is it's ability to leverage out roots and rocks and dirt. It does that in spades ;-) The handle is oddly shaped, yet comfortable. Highly recommended.

Summary: The Best shovel ever
Comment: I've gone through a number of shovels in the past 35 years and this one is the best. Most shovels last me about two years then the handle breaks. I had a Fiskars Long Handle Digging Shovel for 4 years before the handle finally bent from my trying to pry tree roots out of the ground. Other shovels would have broken long before this one did. So I sought a second one. BTW when I received the new shovel it had a toll free number for a life time replacement for any shovel that breaks. I called the number and they replaced my broken one for free. I now have two which is OK with me. Now I have one for home and one for work. Oh and I did win the war with the tree root before the shovel handle broke.

Summary: The WOW shovel!
Comment: How can a shovel be better? I am a seasoned gardener who just moved and am putting in a large garden with a lot of clay. We were having trouble digging through the clay when I came upon this shovel. I ordered it and bought another variety at the hardware store, (that was suppose to be top of the line,) as I had 2 volunteers to dig my holes. They literally FOUGHT over the Fiskars shovel! It has a wonderful large foot rest and seems to really slice through the clay. It is heavy for a woman to use, but I did get the hang of it and dug many of the holes myself with the shovel. We all gave it 5 stars after digging 400+ holes.

Summary: I'm DIGGING this SHOVEL!
Comment: Talk about good digging! This shovel glides through the soil like a hot knife through soft butter!! I was a little concerned about reviews that said it was heavy. I'm a woman, and not extremely muscular, but I can handle this shovel just fine! This is making the joy of gardening a little more joyful. I can't recommend this shovel highly enough!

Summary: A great compromise between a shovel and a spade
Comment: I had been looking for a long handled spade when I ran across this shovel.

The spades that didn't have the back breaking short D-ring handle were usually about about twice the price of this shovel and none of them were available that had Prime shipping. After reading other reviews of this shovel, I decided to give it a try.

As others have noted, it is a beast. The handle is steel. The blade is nice and thick and the stomp plates are massive. There's only a single curve in the blade so it has a nice and smooth cutting action when digging in. The handle is welded onto the top of the blade, so there's no grooves or extra curves in the blade to add friction. The curve is just enough to move dirt around with. The big stomp plates on the top make the shovel comfortable to use with footwear as flimsy as sandals.

It is a rather heavy shovel, which would be something to consider if you have any specific needs.

Otherwise, I'd go as far to call this the perfect digging shovel. A long handled spade may be better if you can get your hands on one, but for the price, this shovel will be hard to beat.
