I should probably answer that question -
These are his rewards for being Membr of the Year - it only took me 9 months to make good on the reward.
Wolverine had sent tools over to us, which I carefully stowed away in a corner to re-palletize and ship over to Dale when I had a chance. Weeks went by, and the guys needed a new rake, and - oh look over here, a new rake! Then they needed a shovel, and - wow, a new shovel, too. Pretty soon I was going to end up having to send Dale some "pre-owned" tools. Rather than that I just ordered up new tools for Dale, which are what you see pictured.
For the record, we also have a "D" handled all-steel nursery spade, and that thing is very meaty.
We won't be breaking that thing anytime soon.
The spoon shovels we have are also very well made. Though I have a personal preference of wood handles over fiberglass. I like the feel better.
