Oh was excited to get this, it's the perfect size... love the little kick step on it. The low profile makes it less visible when out digging and therefore less intimidating when digging on permissions and just a little bit lighter than my other shovel, which I would end up not using most of the time and just leaning it on a nearby tree or something (shocking I haven't lost it). Often I would use my hand shovel/blade instead which would require kneeling on my knees and as soon as I got this I ran out to test and was so happy no need for the hand shovel or kneeling and this leaves a small footprint when digging.
