Faithfull Open Socket West Country Shovel

The Faithfull Open Socket West Country Shovel is a traditional round mouth shovel designed for heavy duty digging and earthmoving tasks. Fitted with an open socket construction and a long 1300mm straight wooden handle, this shovel follows the time honoured design preferred by contractors and groundworkers in the West Country region. The round mouth blade measures 300 x 275mm, providing an excellent balance of capacity and manoeuvrability for general excavation work. The extended handle length offers superior leverage and reduces back strain when moving soil, aggregates, or loose materials, making it particularly suitable for prolonged digging operations.
