 Fiskars is the best - GREAT shovel...Seriously! September 24, 2008
This entire Fiskars binge began with a hoe [incredible product] and then a rake [excllent] and eventually have replaced nearly entire outdoor garden tool set with Fiskars.
My husband said we didn't need another shovel but I was so happy with the other garden tools that I bought this for myself...I've not been able to use it once because he immediately adopted it. According to him it 'digs itself". I'm not exactly sure what that means but he brags about the weight and balance - says it makes it so much easier. The same applies for the square shovel. Super nice weight, well balanced, Comfortable.
While it might initially seem counter-intuitive to buy a heavy shovel...it actually is much easier to work with than a light weight shovel. The weight allows maximum efficiency so you don't need to strain and struggle to break the earth - it does the work for you. He has a tendency to have lower back pain when working (age related) and within an hour this became his new favorite shovel....he quickly insisted on buying the square head equivalent (every bit as good).
The other major difference is the long handle. It seems more and more tools are trying to scrimp by on less material - this is a very solid, very heavy item with an extra nice long handle that is perfect for those who are a bit on the tall side. It also has the rolled edge to keep the foot from slipping...lots of nice little extra's that set this apart from the rest.
Very pleased with the Fiskars line of garden tools - either buy two or don't let your husband borrow it...you won't get it back
Best shovel ever made August 8, 2008
I've owned this shovel for two years and I'm here to say that it's the best constructed shovel I've ever seen. I've broken fiberglass and wood-handled shovels. I've had them come apart at the handle-blade connection. Not this shovel. All metal construction, the handle is all one piece and welded to the blade. The most important aspect of a shovel is it's ability to leverage out roots and rocks and dirt. It does that in spades ;-) The handle is oddly shaped, yet comfortable. Highly recommended.
The Best shovel ever July 3, 2008
I've gone through a number of shovels in the past 35 years and this one is the best. Most shovels last me about two years then the handle breaks. I had a Fiskars Long Handle Digging Shovel for 4 years before the handle finally bent from my trying to pry tree roots out of the ground. Other shovels would have broken long before this one did. So I sought a second one. BTW when I received the new shovel it had a toll free number for a life time replacement for any shovel that breaks. I called the number and they replaced my broken one for free. I now have two which is OK with me. Now I have one for home and one for work. Oh and I did win the war with the tree root before the shovel handle broke.
The WOW shovel! June 18, 2008
How can a shovel be better? I am a seasoned gardener who just moved and am putting in a large garden with a lot of clay. We were having trouble digging through the clay when I came upon this shovel. I ordered it and bought another variety at the hardware store, (that was suppose to be top of the line,) as I had 2 volunteers to dig my holes. They literally FOUGHT over the Fiskars shovel! It has a wonderful large foot rest and seems to really slice through the clay. It is heavy for a woman to use, but I did get the hang of it and dug many of the holes myself with the shovel. We all gave it 5 stars after digging 400+ holes.
I'm DIGGING this SHOVEL! June 18, 2008
Talk about good digging! This shovel glides through the soil like a hot knife through soft butter!! I was a little concerned about reviews that said it was heavy. I'm a woman, and not extremely muscular, but I can handle this shovel just fine! This is making the joy of gardening a little more joyful. I can't recommend this shovel highly enough!
