Centurion Shovel

The Centurion Shorty Shovel features a 20-inch handle, making it a compact tool designed for tight spaces, camping, or emergency use rather than full-depth garden digging. Because of its short length, you will need to bend further than you would with a long-handled shovel.

Yes, the shovel is built with a 14-gauge tempered steel blade and a reinforced fiberglass handle, giving it a heavy-duty rating. The integrated footrest allows you to apply extra downward pressure, which is helpful when breaking through compacted or rocky soil.

The blade is finished with a Hammerstone coating, which is specifically designed for superior rust resistance. While it is highly durable, it is still best practice to wipe off excess moisture or mud before storing it for long periods to maintain the finish.

The reinforced resin D-grip is ergonomically shaped to provide a secure, comfortable hold that reduces hand fatigue. It offers excellent leverage and control, especially when you are working in confined areas where a standard straight handle might be cumbersome.

No, the fiberglass handle is designed with a protective sleeve to prevent splintering and ensure a smooth, safe grip over time. This makes it more durable and lower-maintenance than traditional wooden handles.
