Amazing heavy duty shovel!!!
Very good tool not like on another store yes awesome .
Happy to purchase
Very good
Years ago, I broke three sharpshooter shovels removing shrubs on a single job. With this sharpshooter shovel, I never have to worry about breakage. I ordered this for a driveway gate installation in NC red clay that was close to buried electrical service lines, so hand digging was the only option. It easy cut through red clay with ease, and made getting through a layer of gravel a breeze. It's heavy, but once you get used to the throw, it slices dense soil like butter. I liked this shovel so much, I named it James in memory of a local gravedigger that dug over 10,000 graves by hand before he passed away. His favorite tool was a sharpshooter shovel, and he would have loved these.
This tool exceeded my expectations. The engineering of it's fit, form and function is unmatched.
Thanks a bunch!
Great tool!
I haven't actually used it as yet, but I need to did up a couple of tree stumps and bought it for that. Can't say that I am looking forward to it, but it looks like this shovel is up to the task, and should make things much easier when I get to it.
This made planting my agaves so easy
The sharpshooter shovel by Metal Concepts will never let you down. It is extremely hard metal shovel that does not bend or break and can be used to pry rocks out of the ground. It will cut through any type of soil with ease without breaking your back. Roots are no match for this shovel. I have even used this shovel to chip away at concrete without denting it.
If you can't dig a hole with the Sharpshooter shovel; you're not digging that hole.
Serious D-handle shovel. Strong welds, great control, and enough weight to break tough ground without killing your back.
I got your red sharpshooter at GIE and needed 2 more for the guys. Great product
The number of digging tools for sale is numerous. The number of good digging tools is few. This is the Ace of Spades.
