Expert Gardener Round-point Shovel with Wood Handle

I had to replace the sane shovel I bought less than a year ago! Likely I could find a different brand with better quality, but I needed one right away and can't afford to pay more. “Expert Gardener” is the WalMart brand or made for WalMart so I will try to return the 1st one I bought for a refund.

We decided to give this shovel a try because of the low price and convenience. We added it to our same day delivery order while working in the garden and realized we needed a spade shovel. I love being able to order dinner and a tool we need at the same time without having to stop what I'm doing and run to the store. So kudos to Walmart for that. Unfortunately, the shovel broke almost immediately. We only managed about five digs into the ground before it snapped. I guess you get what you pay for. It ended up being a waste of money, and we'll stick with the higher-quality options from home improvement stores in the future. If you're looking for a cheap shovel for very light soil, it may be fine. But if you need a spade shovel for tougher jobs like digging larger holes, moving shrubs, or cutting through roots.. this probably isn't the one to buy.

Overall, good shovel. For me it's hard to use due to the fact that the handle is thick. I have a hard d time grabbing it and maintaining the grip during the project.

This shovel was perfect for digging up large frozen doggie poo piles from the snow, since the regular scoopers wouldn't hold up to the job. The sturdy wooden handle was easier on the hands in the cold weather as well. Would recommend.

This was supposed to be deleted from my order but it still came. I ordered a different shovel that was delivered on 6/14. Now I have to return the one that was delivered on 6/13 that I cancelled.

It's a little heavy but I guess you would t want it to be flimsy. All in all it has been a good buy. The head hasn't bent at all the equipment has held up nicely.

Handle broke in half within a few minutes of first use. Just digging a hole in relatively loose dirt.

This is a good little shovel but it's not heavy duty. I have planted more than 20 trees and plants using this shovel and it has worked great for me.

Right price. Wrong product. If you need to dig in sand, it's perfect. Anything harder spend the extra money.

If you need a plain shovel that gets the job done and will probably last for years, you don't want to miss this great buy.
