AMES 2535700 Tempered Steel Transfer Shovel with Hardwood Handle, 61-Inch, Gray

I was going to go to Menards to purchase a wooden handle to repair and old raggedy shovel (I'm a cheapskate) . The shovel handle was $10.00 (questionable quality to boot). This QUALITY shovel on Amazon by a heritage manufacturer was $15.00!! Got the whole shebang for 5 bux more than I woulda spent at Menards! (and saved a 25 mile trip as well). The working end appears to be steel and the handle appears to be a high quality hickory wood job. Should not break any time soon.

Seems to be a quality product for a reasonable price

No bending this shovel! You do have to sharpen the new ones though.

Very sturdy with a light and sturdy handle made from fiberglass, much better than a wood handier

This is a well made shovel for the price. I used it to shovel gravel with no problem. For my normal use it needs to be sharper. It is now sharper, so it now does everything I need it to.

We use it often works well, durability seems fine could be better but we aren't too harsh and don't use it often so can not give full review on the durability aspect of it.

The top of the handle arrived damaged, but doesn't interfere with it's use. Otherwise, the shovel itself is a good weight, sturdy, and sharp. "Cuts" easily through heavy soil.

Replaced my old wood handle shovel that keeps getting beat up in the Arizona sun. This one seems like it’ll hold up better Only used it LIGHTLY a few times in the past couple weeks and see the green foam hand grip has torn already. Would recommend investing in a little R&D to come up with a more durable grip. While that’s disappointing it doesn’t make me like this shovel any less. Will probably buy the flat shovel next

I was a little worried about the quality given the price point, but it is much better than a more expensive product I already had.
