The Talen Tools Karlstad Ballast Shovel is a lightweight aluminum tool designed for moving light materials such as sand, soil, and animal feed. With a blade width of 28 cm and a length of 34 cm, this shovel provides a larger working surface than standard shovels and features raised edges to prevent material from slipping off. The aluminum construction ensures durability and corrosion resistance, while the blade has a wear-resistant strip along the cutting edge for extended longevity. The 85 cm long handle is made of ash wood and treated with wax that penetrates deep into the wood fibers to enhance strength and moisture resistance. An iron D-shaped grip at the end provides improved hold and control during scooping motions. This shovel is suitable for gardeners, landscapers, and agricultural workers who need a reliable tool for light material handling tasks. The smooth aluminum surface facilitates easy scooping and material release. As a successor model in the Talen Tools garden tool range, this ballast shovel combines practical design with durable materials for consistent performance in various outdoor applications.
