The Fiskars® long handle steel digging shovel makes it easy to dig into tough soil without sore knees from kneeling or back strain from bending. The welded steel construction is far more durable than wood and won't flex like fiberglass. A sharpened blade cuts into dense soil easily, an extra large foot platform helps maximize force to break up hardened soil clods and a teardrop shaped shaft profile provides exceptional comfort and control.
