You must not use it much. I've only had mine two years and it looks like polished chrome, and I've painted it once. They are very well made. I love mine. Light but tough.

Have you ever bent it? I think I might have bent the angle of the blade. In other words my blade is straight aligned with the shaft. I could have sworn there was a slight angle (blade to shaft) when it was new.

I Christen your shovel - "Bob T. Handle"

Nope. It's held up well

There is a slight angle to mine.

That's what I thought thanks.

I have used it a lot and it has NOT bent at all--I do sharpen the blade now and then// Perry

Mine has bent at the blade / handle connection. I have bent it back straight numerous times, so eventually it's going to develop a stress fracture. Even with that in mind, it's still the best digging tool I've ever found for yards and parks.

I have this shovel and it's excellent. Mine has the ball-end handle rather than the T-handle. The ball-end allows you to carry it upside-down in a tool-belt hammer loop on your detector pouch belt.

that doesn't jab you in the hip or waist when stepping over a log/rock or just plain walking? I guess I am to short is mine will hit the bottom of my leg when I use the waist clip

Yeah, but you can't buy directly from them.

No, because I put it on the hip. It rotates without digging in if I bend at the waist, and because it's on my side rather than in front or behind, it doesn't get in the way when walking.
