Fiskars Square Garden Spade Shovel – 46″ – Steel Flat Shovel with D-Handle – Garden Tool for Digging, Lawn Edging, Pruning – Heavy Duty Weed Puller Tool – Black/Orange

Dig It. I Am a metal detector first of all. I need a shovel that is going to get me the target I am seeking with ease. I use this shovel in Parks and fields in Florida. The ground is mainly sand which is semi soft but upon ocassion can be a mixture that may be more harder. The shovel blade is is long enough to get me into the ground at a pretty good depth on the first enrty. Edge of shovel blade is sharp enough to cut through most small roots and dislodge any small rocks you come in contact with. Shovel blade is made of very sturdy metal and will not bend very easily. The size of the balde allows you to remove a good sized shovel full os material. Steps at the top of the the shovel blade allow the user to apply enough force to enter the ground at great depth, cut through through small roots or get behind rocks to remove them. The shovel shaft is the perfect length. The shaft is very strong as it will not bend very easily and allows a great amount of force to be applied to remove, pry or break apart. The handle is a hard core plastic. Allows two hand use and allows you to apply a good grip without slippage. Sturdy, well made rough and rugged, for light to heavt duty use.

Excellent for edging. I love this shovel. Does perfect for edging and scraping up overgrown grass from my driveway. Very sturdy and easy to grab. Highly recommend.

Heavy duty. I like it. Used it to cut up new bamboo growth. It pretty sharp. I did find a similar one for a lower price locally but I prefer Fiskars branded garden tools.

If I could marry a garden implement, it would be this one. This shovel is amazing. It’s strong, uncomplicated, and clever. I edged my lawn in a snap, used it to dig a hole for a pond, and dug up some invasives without worrying that it would bend or break. The edge is sharp and cuts through turf like a hot knife through butter. I like the big handle and the platform to step on is a nice size. I’m finding all kinds of jobs for it. A very useful tool and worth the cost.

When you need it, you’ll need it. A perfectly flat and straight, squared-off blade. Very well-built for home/garden use. Found I could use the shovel to scrape off a think layer of soil in one place and use that dirt to fill in a ditch elsewhere. Also good to shovel-off you-know-what from your front yard.Because of its straight, thin-ish blade it can be used to cut off weed and grass ingrowth into the mulched areas around newly-planted small trees. Could also be used for edging lawns.Bought it because I saw a video where it was used to slash, or cut into the soil deep enough to make a, slim crevice that would be wide enough to bury a low voltage wire – all without digging a more labor intensive ditch which would also take time to backfill. The idea is that you stand on the shovel until it’s been pushed all the way down, then wiggled a bit to widen the top surface opening. This is a clever idea if your soil is naturally soft. But, if your soil is anything like mine with hard clay appearing 6-8 inches below the surface, this probably won’t work – it’s too hard to push the shovel’s blade down all the way. However, a few days after a long, hard rain might make all the difference even for challenging soils.You may not use this one too often, but when you do it’s the perfect tool to use. One of those specialized tools that’s nice to have if you don’t mind spending the extra money. It might stand in the corner of my garage for another 2-3 years before I reach for it again.

A Solid Edging Shovel with Some Room for Improvement. I recently purchased this edging shovel and have been using it to tidy up my lawn and garden. Overall, I’m pleased with its performance, but I do want to share some observations to help set realistic expectations.First, the shovel and its packaging arrived in good condition, with the tool well-protected from damage during shipping. The edging shovel itself feels very sturdy and well-balanced, making it comfortable to use for extended periods. The edging results are good, but as with any new tool, it does take some practice to get the hang of it. Don’t expect perfect edges right away, but with a bit of patience and technique, you’ll get the desired results.One area for improvement is the handle’s plastic components, which don’t quite match the quality of the rest of the shovel. While the handle’s durability is still good, I worry that the plastics might be more prone to wear and tear over time.I’ve been careful to store the shovel out of direct sunlight, so I haven’t personally experienced any issues with fading. However, I’ve read that this can be a problem for some users, so it’s worth considering if you plan to store the shovel in a sunny area.Despite these minor drawbacks, I’m happy with the shovel’s performance and would recommend it to others. If you’re in the market for a reliable edging shovel and are willing to put in a bit of practice to get the best results, this tool is definitely worth considering.

Well built. I was looking for a nice sturdy, but light square shovel, and this met my expectations. For the price, I couldn’t beat it. I put it to use the day I got it and it was perfect. It functioned as intended and for its size, the value was great. Exceeded my expectations. It wasn’t huge and heavy. Perfect size.

works great. Very sturdy. Great, wide handle. Easy to use. Very useful planting or transplanting trees, shrubs etc.

Awesome. Great, high quality, durable shovel!! The big grip is really nice, a little heavy but that’s why it’s tough
