I needed a square shaped shovel so could cut through tree roots in the trench I was digging. The spear point shovels just slide past them without cutting them.
This tool has performed incredibly for me. It has saved my back and feet. Great for digging out shrubs and for planting. Also great for trenching to bury low voltage wiring.
I was somewhat skeptical when I ordered this product, although it was a Bosch chisel. Excellent quality and to my surprise it is made in Germany with German steel. Quality far exceeds what I expected it would be.
