I wanted to like this, but it didn't last 2 weeks
We bought a new home that the previous owner got a little trigger happy with the rosebushes. 33 in all. This guy did manage to get 13 out for me. On the 14th, after a very minor push, the neck where the shovel connected to the handle bent. Decided no big deal, these things happen.
Decided to shovel even more gingerly and even then, I don't think I've ever had a shovel fail this way. Completely sheared away from the handle at the STEEL.
I don't recommend this shovel.

Weak metal
The metal bent when trying to dig up a root, making the shovel lopsided. Ive only had it for 2.5 months and used it only a handful of times. Would not buy again.

Best Shovel - Ever!!!
Was hesitant about spending this much on a shovel and whether it would perform as well as everyone says - and it does perform, very well to be honest! I’ve used this to dig out an old bush in my backyard with much less effort than if I were to have used something else! The comfort step is great, too. I’ve stood on it (150 lbs.) while trying to dig out my bush and it’s definitely solid. I especially love this shovel for digging out dried-out brown zoysia sod from my yard. The spade tip is strong and it can be run through underneath the sod to very easily take it out and replace with new ones.

Didn't last 3 months
Bought this and worked good at first, but then you can start to notice "creaking" at the neck of the spade and give it 2 more diggs after that and the photos will speak for them self.....and mind you I can't find anything on the website about a "15 YEAR WARRANTY" just a 90 day

This is a great digging shovel. The handle is comfortable and the blade is sharp. I dug out 9 stumps and a massive flower bed that we're renovating. My old wood handle shovel broke so I decided to try out fiberglass and it's solid. I know you're supposed to use a pry bar to lift out stumps, but this thing has handled the task very well. I'm not sure why you'd spend more money on another shovel. You won't regret getting this one!

Im a gardener/pruner for most of my life, as i went through toools quickly i started buying better tools. I really like Ames wooden handle tools as they have a good strong feel to them and i am hard on tools, and that they are wooden handles. I perfer wood as i like its looks and that it's strong if you just keep them out of the rain, and yes they have a 15 year guarantee so i definitely recommend this product...

Ames used to be the best shovel out there. I still have several blade that just need a new handle. I bought this one since it was only $2 more than buying just a handle to fix my old one. It is super flexy and twists easy in the hard AZ dirt and rocks. Handle was creaking since day one. Are they made of pine now??? The handle broke after about 50 minutes of using it over 3 months. Ames quality has gone down hill from what they used to be. Will not buy another. Maybe just an ash handle for my old spade that didnt flex.

For the price of this shovel, i definitely feel like i got my money's worth. The fiberglass handle is a lil lighter than the old wood. And if you grew up using wood handles and dealt with them breaking, the change is a relief. I would recommend to anyone for light to medium work.
