Got my NX-5 shovel today (few pics) with comments.

Here is pic of blade. Real beefy where handle connects.



Back of blade.



View from top, showing foot holds.


The handle.


I like this shovel. Used this afternoon. The T on handle has little plastic inserts unlike my older Lesche shovel. So a peron doesn't get cut or abrasions I guess.
A few inches shorter too.Mine is the longer model available.

It’s a great shovel, I like mine a lot. Also under each foot peg is a bottle opener...just sayin.

Thanks for the pics Tnss. What's the overall length of the shovel ?

Total length according to my ruler is 36.25"

That is from tip of blade to top of handle.

I got one and finally used once. Its a great shovel for relics. the teeth are kind of messy in the turf scattering dirt. If any on wants it message me. I'd rather have a teethless sampson back for nice clean turf coinshooting

I wish they sold just the blade. Then you could install a hardwood handle of any length you want which would make it lighter and warmer on your hands.

Thanks Tnss.
