Earth Talon Shovel

I have to be honest.

When I first saw the Earth Talon shovel I thought the pointed end was nothing more than a gimmick.

But after putting it to the test in the hard, rocky soil of the Catalina Foothills in Tucson, I’m a fan.

Not only did it sink through the gravel, sand and dirt with relative ease, but it quickly chopped through large, tough roots. Simply place the Earth Talon’s point on the root, step down on the foot rest and the root is severed.

We give the Earth Talon a 5-shovel rating. It has excellent penetration in hard, rocky soil (meaning that it takes less energy to dig), is well-built, comfortable to use, and does what it’s meant to do incredibly well. In my husband’s words, “This is the best shovel I’ve ever used for trenching and digging in hard soil.”
