Worlds Worst and Best Shovels

I went to the store today to get a shovel. After last nights de-landscaping, I needed to finish up. I needed to get to the root of the problem, so to speak. So, I bought a shovel at a discount store.

I got home with said shovel, used it for about 5 minutes, and the damn thing BROKE. Seriously. I wasn't hitting someone with it, I was trying to dig. Isn't that what shovels are for? Well it broke right where the metal meets the wood. I offer you a version of the worlds worst shovel. I can't find the exact one online, unfortunately.


So, we took that one back and went to a different store for a new shovel. Twice the price and ALL METAL, it's called "The World's Best Shovel". So, we bought it. And you know what? I believe it. I pulled out some NASTY roots with that thing, and it's still working.

Here you go, the World's Best Shovel (mine says it right on the shovel) from Fiskars of all companies. I thought they just made scissors.


And the damn bushes I pulled out with it:



This was the last of the 3, and was as big as the other 2 put together. On here it looks like a big scary animal ready to bite!



Next? The roses. Wish me luck.
