Well Balanced Tools Dec 03, 2008
When I first came across these, I thought they looked neat, and maybe they might not function so bad. The look had additional marketing appeal for my landscaping company, something to set us aside from others.
However, I wasn't really sure they'd suit a functional purpose, so I tentatively ordered the shovel to give it a trial run and to see if I could live with it.
I've since gone out and stocked up on all the NRG-PRO tools, their hand tools, and I'm looking forward to at least some of the NRG-STX series tools as well.
All of the tools have a great balance. They are easier to control and carry materials across distances ~ a simple open hand across the circular handle keeps them from spinning and dropping whatever they're carrying. I've also found the handle design helps keep them from rolling or causing too much trouble when toting them around across the arms of a wheelbarrow.
The nice green does seem to get dulled quickly from the mud and, even when washed clean, still loses that new-tool shine. The business end has no such problems and remains easy to clean even when it has a right not to.
I'm tall ~ over 6' ~ and I never thought I'd like the short handles on these, however, I've found they're more comfortable even digging down below grade. This is a bit of personal taste, as my son, slightly shorter than I, prefers long handled tools.
The spade ~ and the slightly smaller transplanter ~ have a shape that's great for cutting into difficult soil. I've used this for cultivated soil, thick clay, and more. Although I love the shovel, the spade is what I reach for when I need to take the first cut into soil, whether for transplanting, planting, or for setting natural rock stepping stones into perfectly sized holes. It slices through roots fairly well, both thick root masses from perennials and the wiry woody roots of small trees.
Out of all the NRG-PRO tools I have, this one probably has seen the most usage, and, other than the darkened green bits, it looks and performs like new.
