A:Â I'm not sure why these are marketed with this measurement. Overall length from shovel tip to top of D-handle is 43". From the top of the step to the top of the D-handle is 32". From the top of the step to the bottom of the green D-handle (where it meets the wooden shaft) is 25".

Good shovel, wider than other narrow spades and the bucket starts to approach a flat head shovel. I used this to clear grass for a new garden area and it performed as expected, flawlessly, without feeling cheaply made or pieces coming loose. A good solid American made product I recommend.

Helped us edge our front walkway!
We used the spade to dig up a straight line on our walkway. Then, we planted some ground cover to make for a beautiful front yard!

Appears well designed. The plastic handle might present issues in cold weather, but generally use in those conditions is limited.
