Aluminium #10 Scoop for General Use
This Westward scoop shovel carries a #10 aluminium blade measuring 17 3/4 in by 14 1/2 in with two reinforcing ribs. The straight 48 in fibreglass handle brings overall length to 61 1/2 in. It is built for moving loose material in yards, farms and landscaping jobs.
Non-Sparking Blade with Corrosion Resistance
The aluminium construction is non-sparking and resists chemical attack, so it suits environments where steel tools could ignite fumes or degrade quickly. No electrical discharge rating is claimed and the blade is not labelled corrosion-resistant beyond the base alloy.
Replaces Heavier Steel Scoops
Workers switching from steel #10 scoops gain a lighter blade that reduces fatigue during long shifts. The jump is worth it when spark hazards or chemical exposure rule out ferrous tools, but buyers who need a stepped blade or a detachable handle should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item
How do you attach the fiberglass handle to the aluminum blade on the #10 16 ga scoop shovel?
The handle is not detachable, so no assembly is required; the 48 in fiberglass shaft is already fixed to the 14 1/2 in wide blade.
What part of the shovel will wear out first and need replacement?
The 16 ga aluminum blade edge will dull or bend before the fiberglass handle or its yellow coating fails under normal digging loads.
At what point does the 61 1/2 in overall length become a leverage limit during sustained scooping?
The long straight handle amplifies force on the 17 3/4 in blade, so the aluminum ribs yield before the fiberglass shaft reaches its flex limit.
