Sure our Irrigation shovel was made for digging, opening, and clearing out irrigation ditches, but it’s also multipurpose for use around the lawn and garden. Like our other round-point shovels, the Irrigation Shovel is built to last your lifetime, with a steel blade that can pry against rock with no flex or tip splitting, a closed back to avoid soil buildup, and a reinforced head-to-handle connection that prevents separation. Constructed from 12-gauge 100% Made In The USA steel, it’s up to 30% more durable against foreign competitors. This handle on the shovel is made from high-quality fiberglass that’s coated in a polyester veil to prevent splintering and increase strength.
