● Greater strength pound for pound than steel.

● Will not absorb moisture or warp.

HISCO tools have fiberglass handles with a legacy of premium performance. All the handles produced by HISCO Tools are made from thousands of continuous strands of fiberglass saturated with resins, and have a smooth polyester veil (coating) on the surface. The veil gives the handle a smooth comfortable finish and keeps the fiberglass from splintering or scratching. The D-Grips used on a short shovel are made of one-piece high-density nylon. We all know that there is no such thing as an unbreakable shovel, but these tools are as close as you can get.

The long handled shovel features the 8-inch Tuffoam double-dip grips which have been designed for the toughest industrial applications. The grips have a durable, vinyl inner liner and a comfortable, non-slip foam exterior that provides long life and helps prevent potential harmful hand fatigue.

Why do I need a heavy-duty spade and fork?

It can save you money. It can save you frustration. And it can save you from an injury.

Let's tackle injuries first. When cheap wooden-handled spade snaps, you may fall backwards and wrench your back muscles or land on something dangerous. Second, there is the frustration of having a broken right in the middle of a job when time is short and the store is miles away.

Lastly there is money... If a heavy-duty spade or fork costs twice as much, but lasts as long as two cheap tools, then you at least broke even. And when it outlasts three of them, you are money ahead!
