| Never mind the name: the rice shovel is designed for moving wet, gooey mud. The perforations in this 8-3/4 x 10-1/2" shovel prevent "suction lock" and allow the mud to slip off the blade without sticking. The cripped blade is made of heat treated, tempered steel, with three perforations and a turned step for solid footing. The extra long blade socket provides a stronger blade-handle bond. 47" northern ash handle is lacquered. 5-year limited warranty. |
