Round Point Shovel (Hardwood)

• 14-Gauge Steel Head
• Closed-Back Reinforced Blade
• 48" Lacquered Ash Handle
• Lifetime Warranty 

The Round Point Shovel (Hardwood) is a closed-back digging shovel built for moving material without the annoying soil buildup that slows you down. Its 14-gauge, heat-treated steel head has a welded ribbon reinforcement and a black coating that helps resist rust while making cleanup easier. The deeply curved bowl carries soil and gravel well, and the turned step top is kinder on your foot when you’re driving the blade into firm ground. This is the best style for repeated digging and scooping—beds, post holes, gravel touch-ups—because the closed-back design stays cleaner and feels more rigid under load.

A straight 48-inch American ash handle keeps the tool light enough to use all day, but sturdy for real work, and the lacquer finish helps it handle wet conditions better than unfinished wood. An extended socket and double thru-rivets lock the head to the handle, and the notched handle end is shaped to support the neck area where cheaper shovels tend to loosen. It’s a practical, tough shovel for gardeners and landscapers who want a dependable round point that won’t bend under normal use.

Product Tips

• For compacted soil, use your foot on the turned step and rock the handle slightly to open the cut before lifting.
• Keep the blade clean after wet clay work.
• Store under cover when possible to extend the life of the lacquered handle.
• If you’re moving gravel, use shorter scoops and let the bowl carry the load rather than prying.
• Expect an added handling fee at checkout due to the tool’s length.
