Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
A square point transfer shovel is the right choice when you are moving loose material or leveling, not digging compacted soil; for breaking ground choose a round point instead. The 16-gauge open-back blade keeps weight manageable for repeated loading of sand and topsoil, while the long straight handle gives better reach and throwing leverage than a D-handle. Keep the hardwood handle oiled to prevent splitting and store it dry.
Lift with your legs rather than your back, and keep feet clear of the blade when scraping or loading heavy material.
