Shovel/Trowel AWTools AW23802 — handheld metal shovel, 520 g, for coal and ash

AWTools AW23802 is a handheld metal shovel designed for scooping and moving coal, ash and other small bulk materials. The working part is made of pressed, powder-coated sheet metal and it features a wooden handle for a comfortable grip. Raised sides help reduce spillages, making the tool practical for stoking stoves, fireplaces and grills as well as for cleaning fireboxes and small maintenance tasks.

Advantages

The pressed, powder-coated steel scoop offers durability and resistance to corrosion in typical household use. The wooden handle provides a secure, comfortable grip and reduces heat transfer during use. Raised sides minimise spillage when transferring materials, and the compact design makes it easy to store and handle.

Suitable for

• Scooping coal and ash from stoves and fireplaces
• Transferring small quantities of solid fuel
• Cleaning fireboxes and ash pans
• Small outdoor tasks requiring a compact metal scoop

When it may not be suitable

This handheld shovel is not intended for heavy excavation, digging in hard soil, or moving large volumes of dense material. It is designed for light-duty handling of loose, small bulk materials such as ash and coal rather than for professional construction or landscaping jobs.

How to use

Hold the wooden handle and position the metal scoop under the material to be moved.
