Ground Shark Model 38 Shovel – The Ultimate Root-Slicing Powerhouse

When the ground fights back, fight back harder with the legendary Ground Shark Model 38 Shovel by The American Garden Tool Co.. Engineered with industrial-grade brute strength by W.W. Manufacturing, this tool belongs to the iconic King of Spades commercial-grade lineup. It is specifically built to tear through dense root networks and heavily compacted soil that would easily warp, bend, or snap a standard hardware store shovel.

At a perfectly balanced 38-inch overall length, this heavy-duty tool offers maximum leverage in tight spaces without compromising portability. It is the absolute go-to digging tool for avid home gardeners expanding their landscapes, professional nurserymen balling field stock, commercial landscapers prepping new beds, and even relic hunters digging deep in historic sites.

Engineered for Absolute Durability: Advantages & Key Features

• Proudly Made in the USA: Hand-forged locally with uncompromising quality by a family-owned team right here in Bridgeton, New Jersey.
• Aggressive Triple-Edge Blade: The 11.25″ long x 5.25″ wide heat-treated blade features a sharpened curved leading edge, a razor-sharp side edge, and an aggressive serrated edge on the opposite side.
• Industrial Aircraft-Quality Steel Tubing: Completely all-steel construction with no weak points to crack, splinter, or fail over time.
• Ergonomic Welded “D” Handle: Features a sturdy 27″ all-steel D-grip handle designed to optimize physical leverage, hand control, and wrist safety during high-leverage prying.
• Ultra-Lightweight Muscle: Weighing an agile 4 to 5 lbs, it packs maximum piercing power while remaining comfortably lightweight to prevent worker back and shoulder fatigue.

Versatile Ways to Conquer Your Toughest Yard Projects

The unique serrated edge design works like a high-speed manual saw while you dig. It cleanly tears through underground obstructions so you never have to put your shovel down to reach for a root axe or hand saw.

• Slicing Through Aggressive Tree Roots: Effortlessly dig out planting holes or trench boundaries near mature trees by sawing directly through heavy, buried root systems with a single downward stroke.
• Fast and Clean Root Balling: The compact blade profile perfectly cradles round soil columns, making it the best specialty shovel on the market for balling and transplanting sensitive nursery crops.
• Precision Metal Detecting & Relic Hunting: The slim, aggressive spade allows detectorists to cleanly cut out neat, deep plugs in fields, parks, or wooded terrain without leaving a messy footprint.
• Breaking Hardpan Clay and Rocky Turf: Drive the sharpened curved tip deep into hard-packed winter dirt, gravelly pathways, or clay-heavy flower beds with minimal physical impact.
