Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a square mouth and a round point shovel?

What is a concreters shovel used for?

A concreters square mouth shovel is made for mixing and moving concrete, and for scooping sand, gravel and aggregate. The square blade is designed to pick up and place material efficiently on a pour.

What does hammertone finish mean?

Hammertone is a textured paint finish that resists chipping and corrosion and hides the scuffs of site work. It is a durable finish for a shovel that gets dragged across concrete and gravel.

Why choose a D handle?

A D handle gives you a secure grip at the top of the shaft, which helps when you are pushing the blade into concrete or lifting a full load. It suits the shorter working style of concrete work.

Is this shovel strong enough for trade use?

Yes. The blade and socket are all steel, pressed and welded in one piece, which is the construction used for trade shovels. The hammertone finish adds corrosion resistance for daily site work.
