Great for scooping. Not so much for digging. But that's OK. I have a digging knife for that.

useful tool, good quality. Classic look and feel.

Had one of these and lost it and couldn't do without one. Very handy for all types of garden and digging tasks. Extremely
well made and uses thicker steel than found in most other scoop/trowel shovels.

This is the best gardening tool ever. I have had mine for years and can't plant without it. The pointed tip and serrated edges make digging in any type of soil a breeze. I have bought these as gifts several times and every recipient has loved them.

I love this scoop! I have had two of them. (Two because my husband mixed cement with one of them - go figure). The edgers are sharp. They cut though the webbing of roots from the prior year. Fits in my hand nicely. I do not have small hands, but I do have some moderate arthritis. My hands do not tire as easily. I just finished buying two more, one each for my 8 yr. old granddaughters who are starting 4-H garden projects this. I bought with the intent of them keeping this as one of their first "big girl" gardening tools. I am excited. I do no use any other scoop. Very strudy and cleans up nice, too.
