Square Point Shovel for Digging and Moving
The Westward 3YU83 is a standard square point shovel built with a 14 gauge steel blade and a straight fiberglass handle. It measures 58 1/2 inches overall, giving the user a long reach for ground-level work. The blade is 11 inches long and 9 3/4 inches wide, suited for scooping loose soil, gravel or mulch. A yellow handle colour makes the tool easy to spot on a busy site.
Suited for General Landscaping.
This shovel fits landscapers, gardeners and maintenance crews who need a durable digging and lifting tool for everyday outdoor jobs. The fiberglass handle resists weather and splintering better than wood. Buyers who need a non-sparking or corrosion-resistant blade for hazardous environments should look elsewhere, as this model does not carry those ratings. It also lacks a detachable handle, so storage space must accommodate the full length.
Simple Assembly With No Detachable Parts
The handle is fixed to the blade, so no assembly is required beyond unpacking and checking the connection. The standard step on the blade provides a stable foothold when driving the shovel into compacted ground. The most common issue is handle loosening over time if the rivet or collar works free under heavy prying loads. Regular inspection of the blade-to-handle joint prevents unexpected separation during use.

Questions about this item
What handle length must I be able to accommodate for the 47-1/2 in fiberglass shaft?
The straight fiberglass handle measures 47-1/2 in and is fixed, so you need space for that full length when storing or manoeuvring the shovel.
Will the 14 ga steel blade withstand the same abuse as heavier-gauge tools I already own?
At 14 gauge the blade is thinner than lower-gauge shovels, so it is lighter but less suited to prying or rocky ground than heavier blades you may keep.
How can I confirm the 58-1/2 in overall length is correct after assembly?
Measure from the blade tip to the handle end; the fixed construction should read 58-1/2 in with no adjustment needed.
