Okay, let’s talk about these round shovels. I needed a new shovel for my garden, and I was not sure what kind to get. I figured I should try the round shovel, since I have not used this type before.
I started to search online for which one to get. You know, the usual places. And I found that the Fiskars Steel D-handle Digging Shovel kept coming up as the “best” all-around option. I saw it on different online stores but finally I just purchased it on my local store.
When it arrived, the first thing I noticed was the handle. They say you’re supposed to get a shovel with a handle that’s long enough to reach your chest, something about leverage. This one seemed just right, a pretty good length, it is about my chest height, and it felt pretty comfortable in my hands.
So, I started digging. I had some old plants I needed to remove, and a few new ones to put in. This shovel made the job surprisingly easy. It cut through the soil like butter, even in some of the tougher, root-filled areas. The D-handle design is actually pretty smart, it gave me a good grip and I could really put my weight into it.
I used it for a couple of hours straight, moving a decent amount of dirt. I was expecting to be sore, honestly, but I felt fine. It did most of the work for me, like the handle length and the blade shape make it easier to move the soil. It’s like they say, a longer handle means less effort, and it turns out to be true!
- Handle Length: Perfect for good leverage.
- D-Handle: Comfortable and provides a solid grip.
- Blade: Cuts through soil and roots easily.
I’m no expert, but I’d say if you need a good, all-purpose shovel, this one’s a solid choice. It’s sturdy, it’s comfortable to use, and it gets the job done without making you feel like you’ve been run over by a truck. I am happy that I got a good one from a well-known brand. I feel like this one will last for a long time.
Conclusion
So, there you have it. My little adventure with a round shovel. It turned out better than I expected, and now I have a tool I can rely on for all my gardening needs. Sometimes, the simplest tools are the best, and this shovel is proof of that.
