Review: Light, strong and sharp shovel - This is the shovel I now grab for most jobs in the garden. I purchased to dig out an old fence post and dig a new post hole. Since then I’ve used for a small stamp removal and to remove some old shrubs. It was great for cutting through the root mess. The long, narrow blade is genuinely sharp out of the box and slices into heavy clay. The fibreglass handle is light but feels strong.Foot plates are decently wide so it doesn’t murder your boots either.For post holes, trench drains, or small stump/hedge removal, it’s simply brilliant. Best £25 garden tool I’ve bought in years – tough, sharp, and still looks new after a lot of use. Highly recommended.
