We bought this a year ago. The handle is strong and so far no splintering. The only thing I do not like is the top, where you'd use your foot to push the blade into the ground. It is not wide enough and causes sharp pain. It should have been a little thicker so the shoe sits comfortable when pushing it into the ground.

Solid versatile tool for gardening needs. I used it to plant flowers. Highly recommend this brand! My first experience with thos brand and it didn't disappoint. Affordable!

I haven’t tried this particular product I have purchased a different product from this brand and I’m very pleased with that I will try more things from this brand
