Draper 57569 Mini Round Point Shovel with Fibreglass Shaft, Blue

Bought this in 2016 so thought it was time to review! I use this around the garden for a variety of different things. Planting (it’s not too big), splitting (it’s sharp and can be re-sharpened), generally going all round the garden (it’s lightweight) and as a metal detecting spade (fastens to a backpack) - no word of a lie, it’s been brilliant. Grandson also uses it now as it’s easy to use for the purposes outlined. I use it at least once a week in winter and nearly every day in summer.

Great quality item, not too heavy aswell. A* product

This is a good spade has a scratch on it but I didn’t read the description I thought I ordered a normal size spade this is a mini spade guess my 3 year old grandson can use it lol

Really pleased with this. Very light to use and shovel just the right size you can't overload it. Good value.

My Son just brought a house and loves this for his front garden.

The item is first class for my metal detecting I do

The plastic handle cracked quite early on where it is riveted to the shaft. After a few weeks, it eventually broke off. I've been using it without ever since.

pro: good mini shovel. comfy in the hand. great for working from knees for planting & shifting materials.con:bit heavier than id hoped. mud collects in the neck where the blade folds over to form the neck socket.4/5
