Product Description
Product Description
Bully Tools fiberglass shovels utilize a triple wall fiberglass, wood reinforced handle design. Great for homeowners and contractors, it is just as strong and hefty as a wood shovel, with the added comfort of a fiberglass handle. All Bully Tools shovels have a closed back design that prevents debris getting stuck while digging. We use true 14 gauge steel, which is thicker than what is typically marketed as 14 gauge. The extended ferrule and welded I-beam support increases strength while prying. In testing, the steel shovel head bends before the handle breaks in both wood and fiberglass models!

All the tools I have bought from Bully are the best I ever held in my hands. They are definitely made by professionals and not amateurs.
Cons: NONE found so far.
Pros: I honestly thought that my Husky round tip shovel was one of the best available on the market. Well, I guess I was wrong (please forgive me Husky, your product is still very well made and is good for what it's made for).
Bully's shovel: 1. Optimal length for my height of 6'1". 1-2 inches longer than Husky. 2. Light because of the fiberglass stem but not very. The blade is well balanced by the handle, if I can say that. 3. The shovel's blade is well and optimally wrought. The "fin" at the top of the blade is extremely useful and allows the dirt fall off while digging easily - must have on all digging shovels! The foot rest on the blade is wide and convenient - you won't miss it, not a chance! It is much wider than Husky's. 4. The "V" handle is awesome. Optimal size for my large sized hand - only help and no interference of any sort.
Bottom line, digging today was a bliss accompanied by a beautiful Californian weather.
Guys, thank you again!
I bought our house knowing it needed to be re-landscaped. A complete scrape-off of 30+ years of previous landscaping efforts. In addition to digging through 3 feet of rocks (in a clay-base soil), there were around 2 dozen stumps (lilacs, old cut-down trees, etc) and approx. 3 dozen railroad ties to be dug out. I hired a contractor to do the initial scrape off, but it was (and still is) an immense undertaking.
I bought a couple shovels (H-Freight and H Depot), but they would flex severely when I put them to work. They're fine for my wife and kids, but not an adult male. I can easily flex the fiberglass handles and the shovel blades.... No bueno.
Then I read about the Bully shovel. It is a thicker steel, no seams in the handle "receiver" (where the handle goes into the shovel head) and something unique - a welded "brace" on the back side of where the handle goes into the shovel head. I can flex the very strong handle (solid wood wrapped in thick fiberglass), but the shovel head barely moves. If I put my weight into it, yeah, the shovel head flexes, but unless it's made out of something like 1/4" steel I can bend it.
Incidentally, there are other brands of shovels similar to the specifications of the Bully shovel, but at 2x (or more) the price for nothing extra.
ETA: I read reviews of the shovel before I bought it and a common critique was that the powder coating/paint came off the shovel.
This critique should be completely disregarded!!! (no, I do not work for or sell Bully Tools equipment)
If you're digging into soil and rocks the paint is going to come off - a shovel is a tool not a museum piece. If you *use* your shovel don't worry about paint coming off or a little surface rust. I usually rinse my shovel off after using and have never had a problem...
UPDATE 4.18.19.. This is still the best shovel for digging or all day shovel work. I ordered Bully Tools 92515 12-Gauge which is the thicker shovel and the lighter one (82515 ) is better for everyday use and I haven't come close to breaking it in my horrible clay soil. In my quest for the perfect shovel. What makes 82515 superior is its light, strong and the ANGLE is correct and not as extreme as others I have owned.
