Thanks for the review. I too have broke several shovels and keeping having to go back to the 60 year old, heat treated one. You called this one a round shovel, but we always called them spades. I'm wondering if you could find a wood handle shovel, how expensive it would be?
Thanks for the video. Just broke a Blue Hawk, Lowes brand shovel and looking for a Made in the USA option to replace it. The Blue Hawk lasted about a month, and when it snapped you could tell it was a veneer of pretty looking wood wrapped around what looked like glued together sawdust. Got the D handle, Closed Back in my cart at Bully and doing some last looks before I pull the trigger.
@@ernielucas6544 Bought it and love it. This is a heavy duty, last a lifetime tool. After getting the shovel I've also gotten a couple or their rakes and a hoe, all very well made, and Made in America. Worth every penny.
Less a complaint, more a practical observation. Poor thing can't handle the work I need it to do, so we opted to get a new one and give the old one a nice retirement.
@@terry7893 The old shovel is still hanging in the garage, waiting for a chance at revival. I'm not one to throw out or abandon a good tool without cause.

You said your great grandfather's shovel was a "decent" shovel and it was 60 years old and you're complaining it was starting to get dull?

@@harveyhaines5383 If "retirement" wasn't "thew it away", maybe the metal could have been sharpened on it with a dremel?
