The Ergo D-handle Steel Shovel features an ergonomic design that makes it easier to grip, carry and use. The welded steel construction is far more durable than wood and won't flex like fiberglass. An angled D-handle keeps your wrist in a neutral position to reduce strain, and a sharpened boron steel shovel blade cuts dense soil and thick roots easily. A foot platform helps maximize force to break up hardened soil clods, and a mid grip and teardrop-shaped shaft provide exceptional comfort and control.
