Krumpholz T-handle Shovel - 100cm Ash Handle, Concave Forged Blade - Hand-forged Hybrid Tool for Digging & Trenching

Krumpholz T-Handle Shovel - 100cm Ash Handle - Hand-Forged Hybrid Tool for Digging & Trenching

Digging and clearing trenches or holes often requires the lifting capacity of a shovel but the cutting power of a spade. The Krumpholz T-Handle Shovel is the perfect hybrid solution, engineered by a European family blacksmith with over 220 years of experience. Forged with a uniquely concave blade that is more stable than a traditional flat spade, and fitted with a comfortable 100cm Ash Wood T-handle, this tool gives you the power to dig deep, clean trenches and holes even in hard soil.

Best For The committed home gardener or enthusiast who appreciates master-forged tools and requires a rigid, powerful hybrid shovel for comfortable deep digging, clearing trenches, and general soil work.

Key Features

• Master Hand-Forged Quality: Crafted by Krumpholz, a traditional European blacksmithing company since 1799, this tool is forged from premium steel for maximum toughness, balance, and guaranteed lifelong durability.

• Spade/Shovel Hybrid Blade: Combines the cutting edge for digging (like a spade) with the concave shape for lifting and scooping capacity (like a shovel), making it highly efficient for clearing trenches and large holes.

• Concave Blade for Stability: The specialized concave shape ensures the blade is much more stable and rigid than a flat spade, resisting bending and twisting when prying or lifting heavy, compacted loads.

• Superior 100cm Leverage: The robust 100cm Ash Wood T-handle offers excellent reach and a secure two-handed grip, maximizing leverage for driving the blade deep into the ground and reducing back strain.

• Sturdy Design: Built to withstand demanding use, this tool is designed for function and long-term durability, ensuring the blade holds up to continuous digging in tough conditions.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Oversized, heavy, and structural goods ship via specialist freight. Freight is calculated at checkout from estimated packaged volumetric or physical weight. Carrier depot audits may adjust the rate — if the increase exceeds 10%, we will contact you before processing.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup — default method
✔ Direct delivery — requires an operational forklift on site unless Tailgate Delivery has been specifically requested and quoted (contact us — this cannot be selected at checkout)
✔ Tailgate hydraulic lift delivery — must be specifically requested; contact us for a quote (not available as a checkout option; extra fees apply; required if you do not have a forklift)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)

Important Notes:

• Shipping costs vary by location and method
• Any carton or consignment over 25–30kg (or over 200cm) must be palletised
• Without a specifically requested and paid Tailgate Delivery quote, palletised freight requires a forklift on site — otherwise the carrier will redirect to the nearest depot
• Bulky and oversized items cannot be delivered to a PO Box — provide a physical street address
• Failed deliveries, locked gates, unattended sites, or incorrect business/forklift declarations may incur carrier redelivery, demurrage, and restocking fees as set out in our Terms & Conditions

Business Delivery:

• Selecting a business/commercial delivery rate warrants that the address has an operational forklift and certified operator during business hours
• If the carrier cannot unload, the consignment may be redirected to a depot and secondary fees may apply
• Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment

See our Terms & Conditions (Article 8) for full freight and delivery rules.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse is a logistics hub, not a retail showroom. Listing a product online does not mean it is stored at our Thomastown warehouse — many lines ship from supplier hubs (split fulfilment may apply).

How lead times work:

• Product page ETA: The Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) / lead-time badge shown on the product page at checkout is the agreed delivery timeframe for that order under Australian Consumer Law.

• Peak seasons: Orders in March–May, August–October, EOFY (June), Black Friday/Cyber Monday (November), and Christmas/New Year (December–January) may automatically add a 2–4 week buffer beyond the product page ETA.
• Supplier-dependent / backordered items: If stock is delayed, we will notify you with a revised ETA. You then have 7 days to accept the new timeframe or cancel for a full refund.
• Adloheat: Custom-made products from Adloheat (Pakenham, VIC) may take 4–12 weeks depending on the order.
