RoughneckROU68044 Long Handled Serrated Edge Shovel,Yellow & Black,1460mm/57½"

A previous, well used wooden shafted spade gave up the ghost 👻 whilst digging a resting place for our cherished family friend who is missed everyday.The job had to be completed hastily so having looked at local outlets, I couldn't find a suitable replacement without ordering into store etc. Quick look on A & this came up. I have a few Roughneck tools in my arsenal so knew instantly that the brand was a reliable & robust British manufacturer. I have never owned an American style spade before but was quickly converted. The long shaft makes digging a breeze particularly with soil removal as there is plenty of shaft to vary the fulcrum point making it easier on the arms and essentially, the lower back. Also, deeper holes can be tackled with the longer fibreglass shaft. On 1 side of the spade, there is a serrated edge which helps to remove awkward roots and such like, a good addition if there ever was one😁. The pointed spade face helps when inserting into the soil, less initial surface area equates to less resistance.The spade is well balanced and because of the well chosen materials, it is not heavy even after an hour or so of digging. Also, the yellow shaft helps when looking for it in a sea of other garden tools.Would I recommend, absolutely. A well priced, well made spade that would grace any tool collection & best of all, it's British 🇬🇧

Bought this due to it being long handled and it’s the best shovel I’ve ever owned. It performs well with ease as it’s strong sturdy and very solid, it has weight behind it to get the job done easily. Excellent value for money and well worth it.

Really good shovel gentle on the hands and you get good leverage on the long handle.

Great product at a great price. Very strong and perfect for what I need. I would like to give this product 100 stars but just limited to 5. Highly recommended as it is a very efficient and effective product.

If you like this type of shovel then you will be impressed with this I am,I use it dailyFairly lightweight cutting edge on one side for root cuttingGood tool to have in you're shed or allotment

Great bit of kit very robust and good value for money and having the long handle makes it easy digging and not so bad on the back highly recommended

Have always avoided long handled shovels before but after borrowing one decided i should get one. Takes a lot of the strain away from a normal shovel not having to bend over all the time means i can use it longer without suffering to much back pain. Like the saw tooth on the one edge very useful. Good reach as well.

Quite Heavy to use but it is strong saves me bending so much, (age thing)

It’s a tough, durable shovel. Only thing I did not like was the top part of the handle. It’s in my way for proper use. I don’t see a need to pound with something on it as I don’t think it’s durable enough to be pounded by a hammer or a sledge.

Quand je lis, et je cite : " Matériaux : Plastique à renfort de verre" je m'attends à du plastique à renfort de vert, ou de la fibre de verre ou de la trimatière, pas à un manche en bois avec un inutile embout en plastique noir.C'est une bonne pelle, sûrement, mais je cherchais spécifiquement un manche ultra solide.Là, c'est mal parti.L'emballage était sommaire, comme c'est un outil original, apparemment quelqu'un a joué avec, la pelle est abimée, juste un peu, ce n'est pas gravissime, mais c'est exaspérant.Je suis principalement déçu par le manche en bois peint en jaune, on dirait que c'est fait exprès pour confondre avec un manche vraiment solide en trimatière.C'est une bonne pelle, mais ce n'est pas ce que je voulais...Je suis déçu.
