Westward #2 14 ga Scoop Shovel
The Westward #2 scoop shovel has a 14 gauge steel blade measuring 13 3/4 inches long by 11 1/4 inches wide. A straight fiberglass handle extends 43 inches for a total tool length of 56 inches. It is built for moving loose bulk material.
Steel blade and fiberglass handle
The black steel blade resists deformation when scooping heavy loads. The yellow fiberglass handle reduces weight compared to wood and does not conduct heat or cold. No detachable components or special coatings are present on this model.
Sustained digging and lifting
Under continuous use the fixed blade and handle joint remain rigid without loosening. The straight handle geometry transfers force directly into the blade for efficient prying. California Proposition 65 warnings apply for chemical exposure.

Questions about this item
How do I attach the fiberglass handle to the steel blade on the Westward 12U493 scoop shovel?
The handle is fixed and not detachable, so no assembly is required; the step users often miss is confirming the rivets are fully seated before first use.
What part of the 14 gauge steel blade will wear out first and need replacement?
The leading edge of the #2 blade thins with abrasive soil contact; once it folds or cracks, the entire shovel must be replaced since the blade is not serviceable.
At what point does the 43 inch fiberglass handle become the limiting factor during heavy digging?
Under sustained prying loads the handle can flex permanently or the rivet joint can loosen, which typically appears before the steel blade itself fails.
