Highlights
Quality
Sturdy sharp … gives me a chance in the toughest of root conditions
Ive had it for 3 years no rust still sharp sturdy even though i use it to pry up large rocks roots
They all had fiberglass handles and they were the most heavy duty shovels that could be bought… not very strong
Took fifteen minutes to dig a hole and plant our tree versus and hour with our last shovel which in the end broke
Price
More than covered the cost in the first hour yesterday vs hiring it done for me
Shovels like this usually cost so much more
Shipping
This was just delivered today and its 96 degrees with a 120 heat factor so i havent taken it for a test drive yet
Competitiveness
If your soil is less than ideal this duo is for you
