The Fiskars Ergonomic shovel is the right tool for moving sand, gravel and other construction materials. The 17° angle of the handle keeps the hand in a natural position, reducing strain on the hand and wrist during digging. The tear-shaped steel shaft with a plastic coating is extremely durable, ensures a firm grip, and insulates against the cold on a late autumn day. The Y-shaped handle provides a comfortable and firm grip. Durability and top performance are guaranteed by the welded connection between the blade and the shaft. The boron steel construction adds extra strength, allowing the spade to easily penetrate the soil. The 40º lifting angle is optimized for lifting heavy materials, such as soil and sand, making this great shovel even more ergonomic than before.
