True Temper2585600 Poly Scoop with Hardwood Handle & D-Grip

Light weight strong

Big timesaver, great for moving large piles of light debris like piles of grass clippings,weeds and large piles of leaves.

Prefect size and weight shovel for everything we need to use it for. Super strong. Nice balance. Not chintzy or floppy. Had ploy scoops that would break if you try to break up anything that is not fluff. And the old number 16 aluminum needed to be send down the road for recycling. After thirty plus years of wear and tear,finally gave up and cracked.Since we don't have snow,the number 12 will be just fine.

I just love it for bark. Short work of 3 yards!

The snow shovel gets the job done! It is lightweight, yet strong enough to hold and carry the heaviest wet snow. Wish the handle was a compost rather than wood, as the winter weather takes a toll on the wood surface and will need a bit of sanding and polyurethane after each winter season.

Sturdy and strong and long handle is good for my back

Assuming your experience is like mine, this is what will happen when you purchase this shovel:- You will need a snow shovel, preferably something smaller that will fit in your smaller patio sidewalks.- You won't find anything small enough in hardware stores so you will go to Amazon and read the reviews.- You will think, "Why does this boring old shovel get such amazing reviews?"- You will purchase the shovel because it is cheap.- The shovel will arrive at your home in a few days in the longest box you've ever received.- You'll open it up and say, "What a stupid old-fashioned hardware store shovel."- You'll start looking through Amazon for a Teflon-coated, fiberglass polyresined tempered steel core handled PrecipitationPusher3000™THEN, and finally then, it will snow like the dickens and you will take this shovel outside and you will realize it is the most amazing snow shovel anyone has ever put on this earth.It is THE MOST AMAZING SNOW SHOVEL IN EXISTENCE.

Longer handle makes work easy on your back

The blade should be a little thicker. I can see where it can bend easily if you put too much of a load on it. It's not built as well as other makes. Prefer the garant. For the quality it seems a little overpriced.
