Orgill Inc. Grain Scoop Shovel

Yes, the aluminum blade is durable enough to handle wet, heavy snow. However, keep in mind that aluminum is softer than steel, so avoid using it to chip away at hard-packed ice to prevent denting the blade edge.

The D-shaped handle is designed to provide better leverage and control, especially when lifting heavy loads like mulch or grain. It allows for a secure, two-handed grip that reduces wrist strain during repetitive scooping tasks.

Aluminum is naturally corrosion-resistant, so it will not rust like steel. However, for the longevity of the wood handle, we recommend storing the shovel in a dry place to prevent the wood from warping or rotting over time.

A #12 blade size indicates a large, wide scoop capacity. It is specifically engineered to move high volumes of loose, lightweight materials like grain, mulch, or snow quickly and efficiently.

You can, but be aware that aluminum is a relatively soft metal. Frequent scraping against rough concrete or asphalt will wear down the leading edge of the blade faster than a steel-edged shovel would.
