Great Garden Shovel
Ames makes great yard tools and this is no exception. This shovel (spade) is a bit smaller which makes it ideal for planting potted vegetable plants. I found it perfect for planting tomatoes and pepper plants in my barrel garden. It is a nice size and weight and is covered by a 15 year warranty! It has a hardwood shaft, a plastic handle, and the blade says "USA Forged". This tool will be handy for many years to come!

Great Smaller Shovel for Raised Beds
I was looking for a shorter shovel to work in raised beds and this one is great for it. Its on the smaller size which is good for working in tighter areas. I was having trouble using a typical shovel, being too long or too wide in smaller spaces. The blade on the model I had had a real weight to it, and I used it to cut through a lot of weeds. It has an overall good balance to the tool too, with a heavier ended blade and a much lighter top. The blade was also forged in the USA and you could tell it was a much stronger steel than on some garden tools that use metal that you can almost bend with your hand. The rivets also seemed good and the handle was a solid hardwood not some easily broken softwood.I recommend this tool, especially if you have a raised garden. One thing that I did find is the plastic rivet part did not look that strong, I worried when going into some heavy clay area if I put too much pressure if it would snap.

Compact, appears to be well made.
I was looking for a compact, durable shovel for my pickup. I ordered the Ames 26.75" floral spade, and an Ames 42" floral shovel from.
The 26.75" floral spade is noticeably heavier than the 42" floral shovel. The steel head of the spade is thicker (14-gauge?) than the shovel (16-gauge?).
The spade handle is thicker than the shovel handle. Both handles are hardwood; the woodgrain on both are correctly oriented.
The spade and the shovel each came in sturdy cardboard boxes. The spade, in its box, fits nicely behind the seat of my Toyota pickup.
I will keep both the spade and the shovel.
Both appear to be well built. The 26.75" floral spade is by far the more robust of the two -- and a bargain at less than $18.
