Keep it sharp with the 10 in. Pferd Mill File.

All blades and handles are fully welded. Handles are plated or painted for rust protection. Weighs 6 lbs. Made in the USA.

SUPER PENETRATION SHOVEL

"The shovel is great and it got here just fine."

Sharon H. (5/5)

Perfection in a shovel.

"Fantastic spade. I've had one for years that my friend coveted, but they are not always in stock. I also have high praise for the optional foot pads. They moved a bit when used and that makes digging so much better. GW sent me a ""back in stock"" notification, I ordered immediately and my friend is thrilled with her Christmas gift!"

Melanie H. (5/5)

Penetration shovel

"Great piece of equipment. Solid and very well made!"

Errol33 (5/5)

Shovel great; customer care not so much.

"Very nice shovel; I am an older smaller person and kit is much easier to use than my old shovel. Issue with inability to to utilize both shipping discount and rewards discount was only explained to me when I called about it and rep was rather short and uncaring with is why I gave only 4 stars. GW is a bit pricey and should have top-notch customer care. Previous review offered cut me off when I complained online."

Alice M. (4/5)

A beast!

"I have abused this shovel mercilessly and it has been indestructible. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Truly a great tool!"

Barry D. (5/5)

My son-in-law was trying to

"My son-in-law was trying to cut through a combination of clay, gravel and awful turf backed with netting that was thrown down to make a grassy area. It was supposed to look good for the sale when he and my daughter bought the house. They wanted to put down concrete pavers to solve many problems. The shovel was a critical part of digging into the mess so they could complete the project! Thank you for a shovel that does exactly what it’s supposed to do."

Ellen B. (5/5)

Expensive, but the best shovel I've ever used

"I bought this as a gift for my husband, it's more than I ever would have spent on a shovel for any other purpose. It is hands down amazing - it cuts through our rocky, compacted clay soil like a knife through soft butter. I will say my razor-back shovel was only $50 and is about 90% as good. If you can afford the best, get this though."

Sarah (5/5)

love it

"Love it ! Can finally dig in my hard clay. But note, in this order of several items in my order, this is the only one I received. Have not heard back from customer service after having informed them."

Jan N. (5/5)

Solid and sharp! Cut right

"Solid and sharp! Cut right through some buried hardware wire like it wasn’t even there. I’ll be using this to dig in all the tough spots. It be nice to have another version with a longer handle."

Tom L. (5/5)

Tough customer

"This is one solid shovel! I have been doing construction/ utility work for 30+ years… seen all kinds of tools and I’ve broken them all… looks like I met my match! This is the way a tool should be made!! Buy one, you won’t be disappointed!"
