Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The shovel arrives fully assembled and ready for use. Ensure the handle is securely attached before initial use.
Compatibility: This tool is designed for general-purpose ground engagement and material handling. It is compatible with most soil types and loose materials. It is not intended for use with power tools.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, clean the blade and handle with water to remove soil and debris. Use a soft brush if necessary.
- Drying: Thoroughly dry the shovel with a cloth to prevent rust on the carbon steel blade.
- Storage: Store the shovel in a dry place, away from prolonged exposure to moisture. Hanging the shovel can prevent the blade from resting on surfaces.
- Maintenance: Periodically inspect the handle for any signs of damage or looseness. The carbon steel blade may benefit from a light coating of oil if stored for extended periods to further prevent rust.
