- Moving material
- Scooping
- Cleanup
The right tool when the job is moving material, not breaking ground: mulch, gravel, compost, snow and cleanup. Buy this alongside a round point rather than instead of one, because the flat tip won't dig a hole.
Pros
- Flat 14-gauge face is ~30% thicker than import shovels and shrugs off prying loads
- Wide square blade scoops far more mulch, gravel or soil per lift than a round point
- Triple-wall fiberglass handle with steel ferrule resists splintering and bending
Cons
- Flat square tip cannot penetrate hard undug ground the way a round point can
- Wider blade means a heavier loaded scoop, tiring on long material-moving jobs
- Costs more than big-box import shovels of the same size
