Five of the Best Digging Shovels for 2021

Best Shovel for Digging Soil

Digging through dirt and soil can be tough, especially if the ground is still hardened after a hot summer or frosty winter. This Fiskars Pro shovel, with a sharpened edge at the tip of its reinforced aluminum handle, is made to slice through soil no matter how crusty it might be.

The shaft profile features a distinctive “teardrop” shape that Fiskars claims makes shoveling easier on your hands and palms than traditional shaft designs.
