 Could be great Jan 28, 2011
By ryan hennessy
This tool works great and is sturdy, however the handle is held on by a single small screw that comes loose constantly. I have replaced the screw with a larger one and that has helped greatly. The big handle is a great idea however the plastic is the weak link here. Mine broke in half at the molding mark on top.
I went on line and contacted Fiskars and was rewarded with a free new handle. I feel the metal portion of the shovel is very stout, but I worry I will be contacting Fiskars again for a new handle. We will see. I will enjoy the tool while it works like a champ for now. I don't baby my tools, but feel it has this weak link. It could be great.

 Broke right in half Nov 24, 2008
By J. rosengren
I had this item a little under a year, stored it in the garage. It has gotten a lot of use and I really liked it until it the spade portion broke right in half while spading up some grass. I went back to where I bought it and they said they could do nothing and deal directly with the manufacturing. They said they received my request for help but have not contacted me and now it is over a week later.

 Great shovel Mar 24, 2009
By Justin Van Winkle
"ltbarcly"
I got this shovel at Lowes because it was the best spade they had in stock. I've been using it for almost a year, and it is nearly indestructible. The last week or so I've been double digging new garden beds in my sand-clay backyard (as hard as concrete after a week of no rain), and it has been a comparative breeze. I've resharpened the shovel once to get through the large pine roots and stumps, and the plastic handle needs re-tightening about every 3 hours of digging (it is held on by a single screw, I'll probably give it a drop of super glue to lock the threads as it is wiggling loose). I am able to push this shovel all the way into the ground, and then jump up and down on the handle with all of my weight without it showing any signs of stress whatsoever (the handle of the fork I was using snapped in 2 with much much less force).
I highly recommend this for gardening. My only reservation is that for another $20-$30 you could move up to something made of stainless steel.

Fiskars Spade Jan 22, 2011
By Accurate Observer
This is the perfect tool for the gardener who wants to remove St. Augustine sod in Florida, in nice square or rectangular chunks, to make room for planting vegetables. It is very rugged. The top of the blade is bent back perfectly for applying foot pressure. The loop ("D") is large enough to insert both hands for more leverage. This spade is worth every penny I paid! I was so inspired that I bought one for a friend for Christmas.
