Corona GT 3080 ExtendaHANDLE Trowel

I bought this shovel to replace the old one I had for many years. I use it all the time!

This is a great little shovel/large trowel. Like other Corona hand tools, it is study and well made. I have NO idea why other reviewers said the extendable handle was too hard to maneuver! You simply hold the black grooved end near the head with one hand and twist the long handle with the other hand. There's even arrows to show the direction the handle should be rotated It is fully adjustable so you can "lock" it in place at any length along the shaft. It has to be a somewhat tight turn in order to hold the handle in any position.I was wondering how large the head was before I purchased this so I've included a picture of it next to a cordless phone. The head is a little smaller than I expected but it will work for my immediate task to get solidified salt out of my water softener's tank. It's also a little heavier than expected but again, this thing is sturdy and the weight is due to it being metal rather than the usual plastic garbage from China. It has a "fully heat-treated steel head" and there is a metal loop on the other end so it can be hung up too.I anticipate this being a handy tool for many years and it appears to be made in the U.S.A. (Corona is based in CA) although the packaging doesn't state it's origin.

Very handy in a tight situation around valve manifolds when a bigger shovel just won't get it

This is really a well made product. I am very pleased with the quality of it. Looking forward to using it to metal detect and garden without having to stoop over. Well worth the money and at a great price!

After having had recent hip replacement surgery, I went looking for some long-handled gardening tools and came across this gem of a product. The telescoping handle DOES work, contrary to some folks being confounded by how to release it. It is durable and well constructed providing excellent performance and value for the money. My only bone to pick is with Amazon who lowered the price substantially the day I received mine. That's regrettable, but the tool is a good purchase.

Saves my back

Love it!!! Ordered so I would not have to Lean over as much when I was planting annuals. Does the job great. Good quality.

The long handle makes digging a small hole or digging up an unwanted weed or plant much easier. It is sturdy and adjustable

Very good shovel. Light ,compact and very robust. Great prospector tool.

This is a sturdy product that saves bending over to dig and hoe in the garden. I couldn't be more pleased with it.

Works great

We needed a short shovel type thing to scoop the dog poop in our snowy back yard. This is nice and sturdy and does a great job. Very happy with this purchase!
