Highlights
Quality
Great quality shovel should last a lifetime with minimal care
With the mattock if you need to bust hardpan a foot down you need to make the hole bigger to get the mattock in
Price
This is heavy duty strongly built for the price highly recommend
Packaging/appearance
Lets get this out of the way yes the rivet does stick out
The caprock shovel busts the hardpan and carries enough dirt out of the hole
Competitiveness
Other than that this is a well built shovel and better than some that ive seen in the local irrigation stores at double or triple the price

Most normal shovels have too much slope between the handle and the shovel to dig vertically not this one you can cut the edges of holes vertically straight

As far as prying rocks is concerned youve got to use some judgement

For example it will be heavier than a normal shovel something you need if you want to cut through roots etc and it wont hold as much dirt due to its fairly straight spade that doesnt concave another important factor in being able to cut through things

I have a hard time understanding how anyone else has broken these shovels my first guess is that its possible they were defective from the factory because mine has been through the worst jobs imaginable and the integrity remains goodasnew
