Product Information

Full details

The Red Gorilla® Multi Shovel is designed for anyone needing a durable, all-season tool for outdoor tasks. Its key benefit is extreme versatility, handling everything from stable mucking to snow clearing. A potential caveat is that while strong, it's made of plastic, which some may perceive as less robust than metal for extreme, prolonged prying tasks.

FAQs

What materials is the Red Gorilla Multi Shovel made from?

The shovel is constructed from high-quality, heavy-duty plastic that is both UV and frost resistant.

Can this shovel be used for moving snow?

Yes, its wide and deep scoop, along with its sturdy build, makes it suitable for clearing snow from driveways and paths.

How do I clean the shovel?

The shovel is easy to clean. Simply rinse it with water or wipe it down with a damp cloth after use. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Is the shovel heavy?

No, the Red Gorilla Multi Shovel is designed to be lightweight yet strong, reducing strain during use.

Will this shovel absorb odors or moisture?

No, the plastic construction is non-absorbent, so it will not retain moisture or unpleasant odors.

What kind of tasks is this shovel best suited for?

It's ideal for a wide range of tasks including mucking stables, gardening (moving soil, compost, leaves), yard work, and clearing snow.

Does the color fade in the sun?

The shovel has UV resistance, but prolonged, intense sun exposure may cause some slight fading over time. However, this does not affect its performance or durability.

Troubleshooting

Shovel appears to be bending under load.

Ensure the load is distributed evenly within the scoop. Avoid excessive prying motions against hard, immovable objects. The shovel is designed for lifting and moving, not for forceful leverage.

Material sticks to the scoop.

Ensure the shovel is clean before use. For sticky materials like wet clay, a quick rinse with water can help prevent adhesion. The non-absorbent nature should minimize long-term sticking.

Surface is scratched after use.

This shovel is intended for robust outdoor tasks. For delicate surfaces, consider using a softer material or a specialized tool. Clean the shovel thoroughly before use on any surface to remove any embedded grit.

Care: To maintain the shovel's condition:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, rinse or wipe the shovel with a damp cloth to remove debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could scratch the plastic.
