42 in. Poly Scoop with D-Grip Handle

After a lot of searching for a better snow shovel, I was so happy I found this shovel. The shovel is very durable and shoveling snow puts no strain on it at all. I also used it to shovel some gravel and stone and was amazed how strong the shovel really is. I believe it will last indefinitely and that’s why I’m not surprised that it has a lifetime guarantee! It’s lightweight and with it’s longer handle it’s easy to shovel without putting a lot of strain on your back. I’m also glad it’s made with material that will not rust or corrode over overtime. It is also very reasonably priced.

Although the scoop comes with a limited lifetime warranty, I am pretty sure that mine will no longer qualify. Why? I needed a scoop that I could use in and around the water, including saltwater, that would not rust and that would allow water to drain away. Since I would be shoveling wet sand and muck, it needed it to “break suction” when raised from the bottom. I had read about sifting shovels and priced them ($$$) and thought that this Bully shovel would be an excellent and economical starting point to make my own, and the shovel did not disappoint. The shovel is made from a tough but easily machinable "poly" plastic. The scoop itself is about ¼-inch thick. And after drilling 408, 5/16” diameter holes in it, there was no discernible loss of strength. During a test in a wet, sandy creek bed it seemed to work great and the holes allow water to drain away and lighten the load. Even with the holes, it is still capable of shoveling mulch and other light-weight products. The shovel does flex more than my 50-year old coal scoop, but it is about one-third the weight of my similar wood-handled, metal scoop.The poly scoop is one-inch longer and two-inches wider than my old scoop. In case you want to make your own, I covered the scoop with blue painter’s tape, found the center-line of the scoop, drew an equilateral triangle on the scoop and then drew lines a half inch apart parallel to the triangle sides, crisscrossing the entire scoop. I stayed away from the edges, the handle connection and the blade areas so as not to reduce the strength in those areas. I drilled 3/16” pilot holes and followed up with a sharp 5/16” hi-speed drill bit which produced very clean holes. I allowed enough space between the holes to enlarge them to 3/8” diameter depending on how the scoop works. FYI: The 408 5/16" diameter holes equal the area of a 6.33" diameter circle--a rather large hole in the scoop! The real test will be at the beach this summer when we a piling up wet sand for sand sculptures. I plan to test it in snow next winter.

This is a really nice, really solid shovel. It is particularly good at shoveling mulch. It is easy to grip and scoops up very nicely, being that is is made of a plastic that is smooth. It also is great for snow, although it is not super wide, so I wouldn't shovel the driveway with it, but the walkway is perfect. Overall a nice shovel to have in the tool collection.

The plastic bends when you try to dig it into a pile of mulch

This shovel is extremely sturdy and yet lightweight.

Very lite weight yet sturdy for my synthetic deck snow removal use. I am 5ft 11” and the handle length works well for me. Was shipped to me really fast with no damage. Was only packaged in a taped up garbage bag due to the awkward shape but no issues with it.

The Bully Tools poly grip shovel appears to be a very solidly built piece of equipment. It doesn't feel lightweight or flimsy. I haven't had to use it for snow yet since that weather is hopefully over. However, without a place where handle and shovel connect, there will be far less chance of breakage at that point. I actually saw the same shovel being used by a lawn contractor to shovel mulch so I have good expectations for it.

It’s not as rigid as I was expecting. The flex surprised me, but I suspect it will sill hold up well. Keeping it in the back of my truck in case I get stuck in the snow. We will see how it does.

Thought shovel would be metal but it is hard plastic and seems durable. Feels solid and did a good job scooping heavy ice. Good price too!
