Foxy Mfg Shovel Handle

This handle is designed for standard open-back, straight-socket shovel heads. Because it features a tapered end, it is compatible with most universal shovel attachments, but you should verify your shovel head has a straight socket rather than a closed-back or D-grip style.

Fire-tempering the wood hardens the outer fibers, which increases the handle's resistance to impact and moisture. This process results in a more durable tool that is less prone to splintering or warping over time compared to untreated wood.

No, this handle does not come pre-drilled. You will need to align your specific shovel head with the handle and drill the hole yourself to ensure a precise, secure fit for your hardware.

The protective lacquer coating helps prevent moisture absorption and keeps the wood smooth. To maintain it, simply wipe the handle clean after use and store it in a dry, covered area to prevent the finish from weathering prematurely.

A 48-inch handle is considered a standard length for most digging shovels, providing a good balance of leverage and reach. It is generally comfortable for users of average height, though taller individuals may prefer a longer handle to reduce the need for excessive bending.
