The King of Spades Shovels are the best quality money can buy.  Handmade tools that will refuse to break no matter what you put them through.  The King of Spades Flat Round has a flat head slightly turned up at the side and then rounded and sharpened at the point.  It is super strong, rust-resistant, smooth and lightweight. The shovel carries a five year manufacturer's warranty against breakage under normal use. The flat scoop resists dents and nicks from hard digging conditions and is virtually self-sharpening during use.
