Truper31206 Tru Pro Short D-Handle Square Point Shovel, 19-Inch Fiberglass, 20-Inch

Perfect for the job nice and sturdy shovel!

It was delivered today, the quality looks good, but I thought the head was a little light weight. Now that I've used it, it's perfect, not light weight at all

I bought 5 cubic yards of dirt for my wifes garden. I used this showl to load my UTV much faster since it square, lightweight and strong! James P. Nemeth USMC Retired

The wood handle in my shovel broke after years of service, and I thought this fiberglass handle shovel would be a great replacement. It is, but it is quite heavy and clearly intended for professional construction work. If you are digging or cleaning out trenches, it's great. If the homeowner is moving a load of topsoil or mulch, it is very fatiguing. I may replace the wood handle in my old shovel after all for light work.

Perfect size for me

I took a chance and bought this shovel when it was on sale for about $20. I was pleasantly surprised with the actual shovel. It seems well-made and the handle is solidly attached to the shovel part. I've accidentally left it outside in the New Orleans rain, but it doesn't seem to have affected the wood or the metal. I like that it's curved with that little bit of turned-up metal because it makes it easy to really put pressure on it and dig deep.I use this to fix the holes my dog digs (mainly the really big holes). I also use it to level the dirt if the mud dries unevenly. The shovel is excellent for both skimming a thin layer of dirt from a raised bit and digging deep into the ground.When I first got it, I was surprised to see that the metal was not uniform and had little nicks in it. I played around with it to see if I could intentionally nick it, but I couldn't dent it. So just know in advance that it might not look perfect, but it certainly works.Also, the description says it has a cushion grip, but my handle was just wood without any cushioned part.

Photo looks like a full sized square shovel with shorter handle. The shovel itself is very small in width and would not move much material. Quality is wonderful for this product and I am a picky shopper. Only keep what is well made and useful. With the short overall length and slimmer width shovel, this would be better fit for a small child to help out in the garden. Or working on elevated veggie beds or something like that. Needed a smaller square shovel for when I need to move snow that is turning to ice and heavy. Will look for same product but in full size.

Nice shovel has a shallow head, advertised with a red handle but mine came in grey.

Shovel is ridiculously small, very strong and well built

a shovel is a shovel

Super Teil, klein leicht und dennoch eine vollwertige Schaufel

I bought the Fibreglass Handle VersionIf you going to buy a shovel this is itAbsolutely amazed, light , very strong and does the job of shifting type1 and soil with easeNo more bending over to load a wheel barrowVery very good

Die Qualität der Schaufel ist ist super, kein Vergleich zu den üblichen Baumarktschaufeln. In den letzten 2 Jahren habe ich ca. 7 Schaufeln normaler Qualität verschlissen und etliche Tonnen Schutt, Beton und Erde geschaufelt, meistens bricht dort der Holzstiel durch Ermüdung irgendwann und nach 3 mal Schaufeln rostet das Blatt.Diese Schaufel mit geradem Blatt ist erste Wahl für Schutt und (frischen) Beton.Hier gibt es ein dickwandiges Stahlblatt das ordentlich lackiert ist (kein reiner Transportschutzlack), sogar mit Trittkante (!), eine gescheite Vernietung, einen massiven Glasfaserstiel. Das obere Ende vom Stiel (der "Griff") besteht aus einem Schaum, der irgendwann mal abgenutzt sein wird... bei einer Schaufel wohl verschmerzbar.Ich habe auch die Truper Pro Serie zum Vergleich, welche nochmal etwas schwerer ist (minimal dickeres Blatt, etc.) - viel Unterschied erkenne ich da aber nicht, abgesehen von der Lebenslangen Garantie der Pro Serie.Der Preis wirkt im Vergleich zu den "Marketingschaufeln" (Fiskars, etc.) geradezu spottbillig. Absolute Kaufempfehlung!
