Landscapers Select 34606 Scoop Shovel

No, this is a scoop shovel, not a digging shovel. It is designed specifically for moving loose materials like mulch, grain, snow, or debris, and the aluminum head may bend or deform if used to pry against hard, compacted ground.

The shovel is quite lightweight due to its aluminum head construction. While the exact weight isn't specified, the materials are chosen to minimize fatigue during repetitive tasks like clearing snow or moving bulk garden materials.

The #12 designation refers to the size of the shovel head, which is one of the larger standard sizes available. This indicates a high-capacity scoop, allowing you to move more material per load compared to smaller, standard-sized shovels.

Yes, the wooden handle is selected for its balance of strength and flexibility, which helps absorb shock during use. However, like all wooden handles, it should be kept dry when stored to prevent the wood from rotting or splintering over time.

Absolutely. The wide, high-capacity aluminum head is excellent for pushing and scooping light to medium snow. Just be mindful that it is not designed to chip away at thick, frozen ice.
