Shovel/trowel AWTools AW00057 — garden hand shovel, weight 2.1 kg

AWTools AW00057 is a compact garden hand shovel designed for digging, transplanting and loosening soil in beds, containers and small landscaping areas. The head is made of hardened steel with a powder-coated finish and a square mouth for maximum loading. The tool balances a solid 2.1 kg weight with a compact form, providing stable soil penetration and efficient transfer of loose material. An ergonomic tubular steel shaft covered in anti-slip TPR material and a D-shaped plastic handle ensure a secure grip and controlled use.

Advantages

The hardened steel head with powder coating resists wear and corrosion while the square-mouth profile increases the volume per scoop for faster material movement. A folded support edge enables foot pressure for easier digging. The tubular steel shaft with anti-slip TPR covering and the D-shaped plastic handle improve handling and reduce slippage during wet or muddy conditions. Compact dimensions and 2.1 kg weight make the shovel suitable for both heavier pushing tasks and precise planting operations.

Suitable for

• Transplanting seedlings and small plants in beds and containers
• Digging small holes for planting and bulb insertion
• Loosening compacted soil and mixing loose material
• Transferring and spreading compost, mulch or soil

How to use

Place the blade at the desired digging or planting point and apply downward force while using the folded edge as a foot support to drive the blade into the soil. Use the D-shaped handle to control direction and leverage when lifting soil or moving material. For transplanting, dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball, position the plant, then backfill and tamp soil gently. When transferring loose material, scoop with the square mouth to maximize volume per pass and transport to the target area.

Usage recommendations

Before first use, check that the head and shaft connections are tight. Clean and dry the shovel after use to maintain the powder-coated finish and prevent corrosion. Use the anti-slip TPR-covered shaft and D-handle to maintain a firm grip in wet conditions, and avoid excessive lateral force that could bend the head. Store in a dry place away from prolonged exposure to moisture.
