Shop Lee Valley Shovel

Strong yet lightweight and comfortable to use, this shovel has a generously sized blade with a rounded point that allows you to easily cut into hard-packed earth and transfer soil quickly.

Weighing 4 lb 10 oz, this shovel stands about 43″ tall with a durable ash shaft set in a deep socket for excellent strength. The 11 1/4″ × 8 1/2″ head is made from rust-resistant stainless steel and has foot treads to prevent damage to your footwear and your arches.

The shovel exceeds the British standard of 121 lb of prying force at the end of the handle without breaking; however, it is not indestructible and should not be used to uproot saplings or move boulders. As with any wood-handled tool, we do not recommend leaving it outdoors in the rain.
