Well-made - great quality
This shovel is very well made. It's sturdy and made from steel, so I don't question its durability. It's easy to use from the top of the shovel part where you can put your foot. It goes into the ground easily and the handle is easy to grip.
From FiskarsProductExpert team
Some tools get used when they're needed. Others somehow end up getting volunteered for every project. We're glad this shovel is proving itself around the yard and handling the tough jobs with ease. Thanks for sharing your experience, and may it continue to be the first tool you reach for when digging day arrives.

Great shovel that I don’t see snapping!
From FiskarsProductExpert team
That’s what you want in a shovel. When it feels solid enough to take on tough digging without a hint of give, you know it’s built right. Sounds like this one is ready for the long haul!

I purchased this shovel about 7 years ago. I'm retired now and use it for a small garden I have. Of course I don't have the receipt after that long, who would? It worked like a mule till the tip of the shovel split. Funny what dirt can do. Anyway, that's why I wouldn't buy another one.

Corrosion
I have had this shovel about 1- 1 1/2 years. I only use it for making hole to plant plants and small gardening projects. Only soil touches the shovel. It had corroded where it was welded by the manufacturer. Very disappointing!! Eventually it will break since it has holes where it has corroded.
From Customer Service team
Even if a shovel only comes into contact with soil, moisture in the soil can still cause corrosion over time, especially around welded areas. To help maintain your Fiskars Long Handle Digging Shovel and extend its lifespan: Clean after each use: Remove dirt and debris from the blade and handle. Dry thoroughly: Make sure the shovel is completely dry before storing, especially if the soil was wet or damp. Store indoors or covered: Avoid leaving the shovel exposed to rain or snow. Occasional maintenance: A light coat of oil on the metal parts can help protect against moisture and rust. With proper maintenance, if a tool develops corrosion or breaks prematurely under normal use, it may qualify for a replacement under our warranty (warranty@fiskars.com or https://www.fiskars.com/en-us/customer-service/warranties).

RIP OFF
Target has doubled the price in the past 7 days. I paid 15 less than 7 days ago from them! WATCH OUT for them. NOT my Target anymore.
From FiskarsProductExpert team
We understand your frustration—pricing decisions are made independently by each retailer, and they can vary based on location, inventory, and promotions. We appreciate you choosing our shovel and hope it performs well for your digging tasks.

No longer worlds greatest shovel!
I bought this to replace another fiskars shovel that finally gave up the ghost after nearly ten years of hard use. Third time I used the new shovel, the point of the spade broke off. By my experience and the other reviews, looks like profit is more important than quality at Fiskars. I doubt I'll get a response from the warranty form.
From Customer Service team
We appreciate your loyalty to Fiskars and are sorry to hear about your experience with the new shovel. Our tools are built for durability, so a break like this isn’t what we expect. Our warranty team does review all claims and will get to your as quickly as possible.

Not the shovel I thought it would be.
I thought this shovel would be a lifetime shovel and would be built with quality. I was wrong. I have had this shovel for a out 6 months and it broke last week. It literally split in half. Very poor quail metal and very disappointing.

Great until it broke
I bought this shovel a couple years back and really loved it, especially the extremely sharp spade and metal handle. Then the weld broke where the handle meets the spade. I was surprised that it broke. Can I get a little help from customer service please? It's supposed to have a lifetime warranty.

Heavy and not as indestructible as you might think. Keep your receipt handy.
Heavy for a shovel. Seemed good for a while until I was digging out some tough shrubs in my yard and it broke. Fiskars says they need my original receipt for that lifetime warranty which I cannot seem to locate as I bought it in store.

Great for digging holes!
Does what it's supposed to! I like that there's a lifetime warranty, although it seems well-contructed so probably won't need to use it. It's definitely not flimsy-- pretty heavy as far as shovels go. Overall, it's a great shovel, especially for the price point.

I have had this shovel for over 20 years. Used it to landscape on two of my houses. Incredibly durable and the foot platforms are great. Easy to drive into the dirt.
