Which shovel is that Truth? To have it break at that point is really a weird deal,and with what looks like minimal stress distortion on the rest of the shovel and handle. I’d trim the bad part off both pieces and stick a stainless rod into both of them...then fry it all back together. That is, unless it’s under warranty!
 

Is your name really “Bam Bam”?
 

Geeeeez, Truth!!! 😱
 

Went through that Myself

Switched to Wilcox (Red Handle) Diggers

No more Broken Diggers.

Of course I don't use Trench Diggers

the 13" Weeder, Not a Kellyco Item that I'm Aware, But Indestructible & Great in Hard Clay.

And

Kellyco 22x3" Long Handled Trowel
If you were to buy one of These :

Lay it Sideways, Hammer the Scoop into a U Shape

It will outlast You :thumbsup:

if you don't reinforce it by Reshaping, The Scoop will Eventually Bend Back,
if your Like me & Forget yourself and Use it to Pry Roots & Rocks.

You shouldn't bend the Shaft.

It under warranty. It’s the parana and I think it’s made cheap or I’m just a beast. I’m going to send her back and let them know that I want there Supermax (thick steal)

Hardcore Truth! I thought the handles were more robust than that..
 

Dam bro you be rough on that gear the Gravedigger shovels look pretty rugged
 

Stop hittin’ the gym brother, yer a little too burley for your own good. I have a NX5 (I think) I got from metal detectors.com, anyway, super heavy duty but my first time out with it, I bent it prying up a root, couldn’t believe it.

They’re really not I’m mean I’m not easy by no means, but it should be able to handle me and this Louisiana clay.

My next one will be much better because I can’t stop doing what I’m doing the way I do it lol
