One of the best tools you’ll ever use. I saw the Fiskars shovel described as “The Perfect Shovel” in Mother Earth News. On that basis I tracked one down at the local hardware superstore.Just came in from using it yet again and I can say that it is the best shovel I have ever used, a superior tool in every way. The built-in (wide and textured) stomp edge makes it easy to stand upon for penetration, the one-piece handle has no rough/pinch points, and the shape of the blade is a good balance between penetration and load…

A tank! This shovel is definitely not a toy. It’s big and it’s heavy, but it’s strong and looks like it will last many years. I’ve used it for normal gardening and landscaping. It’s got a curve and a point so it’s not great for edging, but it will turn up clay and move plenty of dirt. The shaft is shaped like a teardrop so it’s comfortable, but I’m a tall guy and I’m not sure how it will fit in smaller hands.

I broke it. But they’re honoring their lifetime warranty! After having broken maybe 6 wooden or fiberglass-handle shovels, I have acquired the “wisdom” that you get what you pay for. I admit, I used it to pry out a tree stump, so it’s my fault, but this product first bent along the shaft, and then ultimately sheared and broke near the weld. That said, it has been the best shovel I’ve owned, and even if it didn’t come with a warranty, I would probably go back and buy the same thing. Now for the amazing part…I called up their customer…
