Product was sold with a lifetime warranty. The shovel head cracked after two years. Ames refused to honor their lifetime warranty.

Home Depot made $3,000,000,000.00 last year. They can pay for my review. Stop reviewing things for free.

The neck of the head broke with normal use. Trash.

Works great! I like the handle, though I did get sore hands and body from using it.?

We purchased this shovel after our other cracked in half. It has a longer shaft and has been perfect for all our landscaping projects and planting of trees.

This is a very weak shovel. Bends easily. I was really looking for a nice heavy duty shovel and this is not it.

Nice shovel, really handles the job.

Light and easy dig shovel EVER!

Took a long, long time to receive!!

American made quality strong and sturdy. Gets the job done in no time.

The metal blade of the shovel cracked and broke. (yes, right in the middle). I contacted Ames support, and they said it was "normal wear and tear" so they wouldn't cover it. Ridiculous.

Great length. Handle very comfortable. I think this will probably last a long time.

The Ames shovel was almost twice the price of a budget shovel. And I need something that's gonna hold up to a lot of gardening work. I liked the look and feel of the shovel in the store. But when I used it in the garden, it creaked and squeaked. I presume it has something to do with how the fabricated metal shovel head attaches to the handle... It was not a comforting feeling. I returned the shovel after just a few scoops of soil. I'll be looking for something different.

Handle is made of cheap material and broke the first time I used it. The shovel head is light and flimsy; it bends excessively and has an extremely difficult time getting theough anythiing other than light topsoil
