Irish Pattern Long Handled Shovel

The Draper Irish Pattern Long Handled Shovel is a traditional contractors shovel designed for digging, trenching and general groundwork tasks. Built with a hardened steel socket for enhanced durability, this shovel features a characteristic V-shaped blade that makes it particularly effective for cutting through compacted soil and turf. The 1600mm wooden shaft provides excellent reach and leverage, making this shovel ideal for deep excavation work and reducing the need for excessive bending during prolonged use. The Irish pattern design, favoured by contractors and groundworkers across the UK, offers a good balance between blade capacity and manoeuvrability when working in confined spaces or alongside foundations. Suitable for a wide range of applications including landscaping projects, drainage installation and general construction groundwork, this long-handled shovel is built to withstand the demands of professional trade use. The hardened steel socket ensures a secure connection between blade and shaft, maintaining structural integrity even under heavy loading conditions.
