Uniontools 40191 Round Digging Shovel 11.5 in Blade

Product Description

The UNIONTOOLS 40191 is a round-blade digging shovel built for professional-grade excavation and general earthmoving tasks. The blade is formed from steel with a round profile, measuring 11.5 inches in blade length and 11.5 inches in blade height. A front-turned step provides a stable platform for foot pressure when breaking ground. The straight wood handle runs 48 inches and contributes to an overall tool length of 59 inches, giving the user sufficient leverage for sustained digging in compacted soil, clay, or loose fill. The open-back blade design keeps soil release clean and predictable.

This shovel suits landscape contractors, irrigation installers, utility workers, and general laborers who need a reliable hand-digging tool for trenching, planting, backfilling, and site prep. The round blade style is well suited to cutting into sod and starting clean, vertical cuts in soil. It is appropriate for both residential and light commercial jobsite use wherever a long-handled digging shovel is part of the standard tool complement.

Installation Notes

Inspect the handle-to-blade ferrule connection before each use to confirm the fastener is secure and the wood shows no cracking or splitting. When digging near buried utilities, follow applicable local one-call notification requirements before breaking ground. Rinse the steel blade after use in corrosive soils or treated fill to extend service life.
