Shovel/Trowel AWTools AW00068, weight 2.3 kg, hand digging and planting tool

AWTools AW00068 is a compact shovel/trowel for manual digging, planting and moving loose materials. Weighing 2.3 kg, it combines a wide hardened-steel head with upward bent edges, an ergonomic tubular steel shaft with anti-slip TPR covering and a D-shaped plastic handle. The powder-coated finish protects the metal from corrosion while the blade shape reduces spillage when lifting sand, gravel, soil, rubble, coal or snow. The tool is manufactured in Poland and is intended for garden and landscaping tasks where a sturdy, portable hand digging and planting tool is required.

Advantages

The hardened-steel blade with a powder-coated finish offers durability and resistance to wear and corrosion. Upward bent edges on the wide head keep lifted material in place, improving efficiency when scooping. An ergonomic tubular shaft covered with anti-slip TPR material provides secure grip and reduces hand fatigue during repeated use. The D-shaped plastic handle delivers comfortable control and straightforward leverage for digging and scooping operations. Its 2.3 kg weight balances portability with solidity for tougher outdoor tasks.

• Garden planting and transplanting small shrubs or flowers

How to use

Hold the AWTools AW00068 by the D-shaped handle and the TPR-covered shaft for two-handed control when extra force is required.

Use the upward bent edges to retain scooped material when transferring sand, gravel or soil into wheelbarrows or containers. After use, clean off dirt and debris from the blade and store the tool in a dry place to maintain the powder-coated finish.

Usage recommendations

For longer service life, rinse and dry the blade after use, occasionally remove surface rust with a wire brush if needed, and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture. Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and sturdy footwear when digging or moving heavy materials.
