Trench Shovel for Digging, 4-Inch Trenching Shovel with Fiberglass Handle, 56 Inches

Nicely made. I use it for digging small holes when planting without having to bend over and it saves my back.

We used this to dig up some bushes and it was strong, and worked well. Much easier than a typical shovel. Quality is good.

Excellent construction, strong fiberglass handle narrow blade was desirable. Price was reasonable.

This seems to be a heavy duty tool. I wouldn't use for digging an irrigation trench because the top of the shovel blade is too narrow to get much of your foot on it (unless your feet a lot smaller than mine) so you can't effectively use your weight to help drive it into the ground. However, that is not what I bought it for. I got it to help remove large weeds from dry heavy clay soil. Weeds that a trowel or hand weeder were too light weight. This narrow shovel with its long handle (for greater leverage) does the job, although it is surprisingly heavy to carry around. After using it for a few weeks I have no worries about it breaking. It is very sturdy. Do not be scared off by the fiberglass handle mentioned in the description. That handle is quite hefty.

Strong and good quality, but down one star for design being extremely heavy compared to even much larger shovels.

For me the best ever shovel. A little on the heavy side, but I dona lot of gardening & the pointed end, the smaller width, the foot thing(?) is perfect for digging. Have wanted one for ages. Very very happy

Quality seems very good!

I bought it to use in my flower gardens but my husband has discovered it and we love it, too. The handle is fiberglass, it's not too heavy for me, which makes it easier to use. It seems to be very sturdy and much sharper than the drain spade, I tried using.
