Shovel Fiskars model 1071925 — boron steel blade, FSC ash wood handle, length 127 cm

Fiskars shovel model 1071925 combines a boron steel blade with an FSC-certified ash wood handle to provide a reliable tool for digging, moving soil and general groundworks. The tool measures 127 cm in total length, offering an ergonomic reach for a range of outdoor tasks. The boron-enriched steel blade increases strength and wear resistance compared with ordinary carbon steel, while the ash wood handle delivers a natural grip and controlled flex to reduce user fatigue. This shovel is designed for regular use in garden, landscaping and construction settings where durable cutting and soil penetration are required.

Advantages

The boron steel blade provides enhanced hardness and edge retention, improving life span under frequent use. The FSC ash wood handle offers a comfortable tactile feel and natural shock absorption, helping to dampen vibrations during digging. At 127 cm overall length, the shovel balances leverage and control to make digging, lifting and transferring soil more efficient. The construction and material choices prioritise functional durability and straightforward maintenance.

Suitable for

• Garden digging and planting
• Soil turning and bed preparation
• Landscaping and edging work
• Light to medium construction site tasks

Key specifications

• Blade material: boron-enriched steel for increased strength and wear resistance
• Handle material: FSC-certified ash wood for durability and natural shock absorption
• Total length: 127 cm for extended reach and leverage
• Intended use: digging, lifting and moving soil; soil penetration and cutting

How to use

Position the shovel blade at the desired digging point and use steady downward force with the lower hand while pulling back with the upper hand to penetrate the soil. For cutting through compacted ground or roots, apply firm, controlled pressure and use the edge of the blade to slice. When lifting or moving soil, keep the back straight and bend at the knees to reduce strain; use the full length of the handle to leverage the load. After use, clean off soil and debris and store the tool in a dry location to prevent corrosion and protect the wooden handle.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the blade for wear and the handle for cracks; sharpen or dress the blade edge as needed. Apply light oil to the metal parts to reduce corrosion and treat the ash handle occasionally with linseed oil or a suitable wood conditioner to preserve strength and appearance.
