Pro-source PS-J3-5-1FL Round Steel Shovel 48 Inch Handle

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PS-J3-5-1FL is a round-blade steel shovel designed for digging, trenching, and general earthwork in construction, landscaping, and utility trades. The blade measures 11.5 inches in height and features a front-turned step, allowing the installer to apply foot pressure for penetration into compacted soil. The 48-inch straight handle is constructed from fiberglass, offering durability and resistance to splintering under heavy use. Weighing 5 pounds, this shovel balances heft and control for extended jobsite tasks. It is suited for professionals who need a reliable, full-size digging tool built for repeated daily use.

This shovel is appropriate for residential and commercial jobsite applications including plumbing trenching, electrical conduit installation, landscaping grading, and general excavation work. The round blade profile is well suited for digging clean, cylindrical holes and cutting into sod or packed earth. The fiberglass straight handle is a standard configuration favored by tradespeople who prefer a traditional grip without the flex of wood or the conductivity risk of metal handles near energized work zones.

Installation Notes

No power tools or mechanical fasteners are required for use. Before digging, verify the work area has been cleared through a utility-locate service to identify buried gas, water, or electrical lines. Inspect the blade-to-handle connection before each use and discontinue use if looseness or cracking is observed. Follow all applicable site safety protocols and local excavation ordinances.
