Ames Round Point Shovel

This shovel features a narrower 6-inch blade, which allows you to dig in confined areas like flower beds or between established plants without disturbing surrounding vegetation. Its compact design provides better maneuverability than a full-sized spade.

Yes, the handle is crafted from durable North American hardwood and is reinforced with a power collar at the connection point. This design helps prevent the head from wobbling or snapping under the pressure of digging through tougher soil.

The 42-inch handle is long enough to provide significant leverage, reducing the amount of physical strain on your back and arms. It offers a comfortable reach that makes it easier to pry up roots or move soil without having to bend over excessively.

While the tempered steel is highly durable and resistant to bending, it is still metal and can rust if left wet. To keep the blade in top condition, we recommend wiping it clean and drying it off after each use.

The round point design is specifically shaped to penetrate tough, compacted soil more effectively than a flat-edged spade. While it is built for durability, it is best suited for detailed gardening tasks rather than heavy-duty excavation in extremely rocky terrain.
