FAQs

What materials is this shovel best suited for?

This shovel is ideal for shoveling loose materials such as sand, gravel, aggregates, and soil.

What is the length of the shaft?

The shaft is 700mm (28 inches) long.

What is the head size of the shovel?

The head size is 300 x 250mm (12 x 10 inches).

What is the warranty period for this shovel?

The Faithfull Square Shovel comes with a 5-year guarantee.

How should I maintain the wooden handle?

Keep the handle clean and dry. Periodically inspect it for damage and consider applying linseed oil to preserve the wood.

Can this shovel be used for digging in hard soil?

While durable, the square mouth design is optimized for scooping loose materials. For very hard or compacted soil, a pointed shovel might be more effective for initial digging.

Troubleshooting

Shovel head becomes rusty

Clean the rust with a wire brush or fine-grit sandpaper. Apply a light coat of oil to the metal head to prevent future rust.

Wooden handle feels rough or splintery

Lightly sand the affected area of the handle and apply a coat of linseed oil to smooth and protect the wood.

T-handle feels uncomfortable during use

Experiment with different grip positions on the T-handle. Consider wearing work gloves for added comfort during prolonged tasks.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable manganese steel construction for longevity.
  • Comfortable T-hilt handle for good control.
  • Polished socket reduces hand fatigue.
  • Sturdy European Ash shaft.
  • Suitable for various loose materials.

Cons

  • T-handle may require a brief adjustment period for some users.
  • Square mouth may be less effective for fine, powdery materials compared to a round point shovel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This shovel comes fully assembled and ready for immediate use. No additional setup is required.

Compatibility: Designed for general-purpose digging and material handling. It is most effective with loose materials such as sand, gravel, aggregates, and soil.

Care: To maintain the shovel's performance and longevity:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, clean the head and shaft of any soil or debris. A damp cloth is usually sufficient. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  2. Storage: Store the shovel in a dry place, preferably hung up or leaning against a wall, to prevent rust on the metal head and to protect the wooden shaft from moisture and extreme temperatures.
  3. Handle Maintenance: Periodically inspect the wooden shaft for any signs of cracking or splitting. If minor wear is observed, a light sanding and application of linseed oil can help preserve the wood.
