Product Description
Round Point Shovels are great for digging holes for planting and transplanting trees and shrubs. They feature pointed noses and built-in foot rests for extra push. Don't use these tools as pry-bars! Get one of our digging bars for prying. Here's a great tip from our own experience! If you are a homeowner who does a little digging here and there think about a shovel with a fiberglass handle. If you are a contractor who digs almost every day think about getting a wood handled shovel. Here's why!
With a contractor the constant digging every day will have the metal shovel wear out long before the handle, at least wear out enough to where a contractor would want to replace it. So why invest in a fiberglass handle? With just weekend use a homeowner will need to replace a wood handle long before the metal shovel ever wears out so the investment in a fiberglass handle is well worth it!
