All Corona Professional digging and utility tools feature northern ash handles that are specifically coated with two layers of urethane for years of smooth, splinter-free performance. Corona uses a forge hammer to pound and compress hot steel to form tools that are stronger and more durable, providing you with years of superior performance. Forged, one piece tempered head for maximum strength and durability. Sharpened blade edge penetrates ground easily. Baked finish protects against rust. Single piece solid socket design prevents weakening handle. Double rivets give greater strength. Small, 7" x 9" head for working in close quarters and among tightly spaced plantings. Available in a 48" long wood handle, fiberglass handle, or with a shorter D-grip handle.
