Nupla Ergo-Power Round Point Shovel

A hollow-back design removes material from the back of the blade, which significantly reduces the overall weight of the shovel without sacrificing the structural integrity needed for digging. This makes it easier to handle during long periods of work compared to heavier, solid-steel alternatives.

Yes, the handle is constructed from molded fiberglass with a hollow core, which is specifically engineered to provide high shock resistance and durability. It is designed to withstand the stress of demanding environments like construction sites and landscaping projects.

The 7-inch long-collar socket provides a deeper, more secure connection between the blade and the handle. This design helps distribute stress more evenly, which prevents the common issue of the handle snapping at the point of attachment during heavy prying or digging.

With a 48-inch handle length, this shovel offers a standard reach that works well for most users. However, if you are exceptionally tall, you may find yourself bending slightly more than you would with a long-handled shovel designed specifically for extra height.

The shovel weighs 5.08 lbs. While it is built for heavy-duty tasks, the ergonomic design and reduced weight from the hollow-back blade help minimize user fatigue during repetitive digging or material moving.
