Have you seen the spear head shovel??

I only heard about this a few days ago and I've been looking into purchasing one. I just read a review at http://gardenaholic.com/spear-head-spade-review but wondered if anyone else has tried this out before?

I suffer from back pain and I can find it difficult to do extensive gardening work. I've been told that this shovel was designed to help with this kind of thing. Any opinions would be much appreciated

 

The size of the blade looks smaller than the usual shovel so it may be easier to manage with a bad back.

 

It's a slight variation on a normal garden shovel, I'd say.


A pointy shovel obviously requires less leverage to remove soil and thus less back strain.
