Truper 33436 California Trenching Shovel - 4-Inch Blade with 46-Inch Fiberglass Handle with Non-Slip Grip, 13 Gauge Blade

If you’re digging a hole or a trench this shovel is the best tool for the job.

Who would have thought you could get a shovel shipped to your front door in two days (for free with Prime)? I needed a 4 inch wide trenching shovel for a project at home. I first checked on AMZN to see what there was on the market, then went to my local "big box" home improvement store to buy it, thinking it would be cheaper. The store was noticeably more expensive for comparable (not including the sales tax!) shovels. Thus, I returned home and ordered this Truper 33436 Trenching Shovel.I am a little dissapponted it is not American made. But Mexico is at least on the same continent, a NAFTA (for better or for worse) partner and is a country which is not continually trying to hack my bank accounts, so I can overlook that.Actual shovel is well made. Sturdy fiberglass handle with rubberized grips is strong but not overly heavy. Blade is thick and any welds look professional and precise. I'm pleased with it and believe it will serve my specific need well. Would buy again without hesitation.

Very sturdy and well made. Makes digging out trenches easy.

Product box was open and scratched all over blade.

Bought 4 of these shovels , used them for one month and two shovels snapped . The shaft is fine but the shovel part right off where it meets the bracket on the shaft . Not very durable if I can’t dig holes without worrying about the shovel snapping off . Metal is not very durable at all .

Product failed shortly after using it for only a few hours. It is obviously something defective in the material during manufacturing. Amazon points to their website customer support. Yet there is no way to get a hold of them because it continually kicks back and says to try again another time. 30 days later still can't send in warranty the question to manufacture. Stay clear from this company as they are only looking to sell products and not support then user.

We had a lot of tree and brush stumps on the property we bought and this shovel is a must for removing them. Dig down, cut off the roots and you're good to go.

This is a good after earth is disrupted shovel. Not really made to dig undisturbed soil. Hit the ground with a spade shovel first or motorized trench digger.
