Shovel Kard 168 riveted reinforced 90 cm with T-handle shaft

Kard 168 riveted reinforced 90 cm with T-handle shaft is a robust garden and utility shovel designed for medium-duty digging and lifting tasks. The tool combines a riveted reinforced connection between blade and shaft with a 90 cm overall length and an ergonomic T-handle to improve control and leverage. The shovel is intended for general gardening, landscaping and light construction work where a durable, easy-to-handle implement is required.

Advantages

The riveted reinforcement at the joint improves long-term durability under repeated load and reduces the risk of loosening. The 90 cm length provides a balance between reach and control, allowing efficient transfer of force while minimising operator strain. The T-handle shaft offers a two-handed grip option and more precise control when digging, lifting or transferring soil and materials. The shovel’s simple, sturdy construction makes maintenance straightforward and suitable for frequent outdoor use.

Suitable for

• Digging planting holes and transplanting shrubs and small trees
• Turning, lifting and moving soil, compost and mulch
• Light construction tasks such as backfilling trenches and mixing small batches of concrete
• Landscaping tasks including edging and clearing debris

Key specifications

• Overall length: 90 cm
• Handle type: T-handle shaft for two-handed grip and improved control
• Construction: riveted reinforced joint between blade and shaft for increased strength
• Intended use: general gardening, landscaping and light construction
• Blade style: standard digging/lifting blade suitable for soil and granular materials

How to use

Hold the T-handle with one hand and the shaft lower down with the other to position the blade at the desired angle. Use your body weight to drive the blade into soil, then lever the handle to lift or move material. For transplanting, dig a circular trench to loosen root balls before lifting. When backfilling or moving aggregates, use short, controlled scoops to maintain balance and avoid overloading the blade. After use, remove soil and debris from the blade and check the riveted joint for signs of wear.

Usage recommendations

For safer operation, wear gloves and appropriate footwear. Avoid using the shovel as a pry bar or for prying heavy rocks, which can overload the riveted joint. Store the shovel in a dry place to prevent corrosion and periodically inspect and tighten any fittings if present. For prolonged digging in heavy or rocky soils, consider a purpose-specific digging tool to reduce wear.
