Its copper alloy head, equipped with a pointed tip to facilitate the penetration of dug materials, and its long ash handle make it a powerful tool for all handling and moving of materials in your garden or vegetable patch, which it will enrich with copper particles. This tool comes with a 2-year warranty.

The Libra copper shovel from the PKS Bronze range, the namesake brand of the famous Austrian ecologist and naturalist, is a large hand tool used for handling and moving materials such as soil, gravel, and sand. It is a product of good quality and value for money, with a sturdy copper alloy head and a 130cm (51in) long wooden handle that is both lightweight and easy to handle. The tip of the blade is pointed to facilitate penetration into the soil, where it deposits micro particles, contributing to its natural composition. Use it to move soil during landscaping and planting work or to transport crushed materials for creating pathways. Practical and durable, it can be used to load and transport all types of loose materials.

Dimensions: Weight: 2.8kg - Handle length: 160cm (63in) - Head length: 30cm (12in), width: 25cm (10in)

The trowel is an essential tool for transporting materials and small landscaping work. It is also used to aerate and loosen the surface soil or to dig and work with soft and light soils. It can be used to empty planting holes after using a pickaxe, fill pots and planting holes, distribute organic or mineral mulches (gravel), manure or compost on the surface before burying them. This model has a copper alloy head that provides durability and solidity. Its jointed handle ensures a perfectly stable connection between the head and the handle and allows for easy replacement with an ash wood handle. Its apple-shaped profile allows it to be used as a lever more effectively and apply more force to drive the tool head into the materials to be loaded.

Directions for use The shovel is an essential tool for transporting materials and small earthworks. It is also used to aerate and loosen the surface soil or to dig and work in soft and light soils. It is used in particular to empty planting holes after using a pickaxe, fill pots and planting holes, distribute organic or mineral mulch (gravel), manure or compost on the surface before burying them. To maintain the beautiful appearance of your copper tool, we recommend cleaning it with a hard brush after each use and storing it away from moisture. Once a year, you can sand the handle with fine sandpaper and then oil it with a mixture of linseed oil and turpentine for easier application. Dilute half and half, and for faster drying of the handle, use boiled linseed oil.
