Product Description Bully Tools American ash shovels utilize the curved wood handle design preferred by contractors. Wood handles have less give, but are just as strong as our fiberglass handles. All Bully Tools shovels have a closed back design that prevents debris getting stuck while digging. We use true 14 gauge steel, which is thicker than what is typically marketed as 14 gauge. The extended ferrule and welded I-beam support increases strength while prying. In testing, the steel shovel head bends before the handle breaks in both wood and fiberglass models! From the Manufacturer Tools made to last a lifetime, and be passed on from generation to generation. 100% Made in the USA Bully Tools is bringing back that tradition with tools built to endure years of hard labor. We have re-engineered he classic designs of shovels, rakes and other popular tools to create more efficient, durable products. Special features on specific products include true 14 gauge steel, triple wall wood reinforced fiberglass handles, extended length ferrules, and welded I-beam supports. We stand behind our products and offer a limited lifetime warranty. If one of our tools fails during normal use, we will replace or refund it! In a time when cheap foreign products are the norm, Bully Tools offers affordable, high quality Made in the USA goods. Thank you for your support!
