FAQ
What is the difference between round point and square point shovels?
Round point shovels have a curved pointed tip that penetrates soil easily and is ideal for digging and moving loose earth. Square point shovels have a flat squared tip suited for scooping, lifting, and moving piles of loose material like gravel, sand, and snow.
Which handle material is better for heavy use?
Fiberglass handles are more durable for heavy continuous use as they resist moisture, warping, and cracking. Wood handles provide natural shock absorption and lighter weight but require periodic maintenance.
How do I maintain the shovel blade?
Clean soil and debris from the blade after each use. Apply light machine oil to the blade before long-term storage to prevent rust. Touch up any coating scratches with matching spray paint.
What does closed-back socket mean?
The closed-back socket design seals the back of the blade where it meets the handle, preventing soil, mud, and debris from accumulating. This reduces weight over time and makes cleaning easier compared to open-back designs.
