Ha! That’s hilarious.
Ya gotta wonder if the guy that wrapped it thinks it’s as funny as the guy receiving it… You ever see the inside of a shipping dept? I'm not sure the majority of the workers there "think".

Buying shipping packaging is expensive.
Looks like it worked well so I will rate it 9/10 and who ever is in charge of shipping at RazorBack shovels gets an attaboy.

Change of subject, but what a beautiful background view to do yard work. I can think of a lot worse scenes to dig with a shovel. A great place to live.

We gonna get into the "belt with suspenders" debate? I've got an old back injury (ruptured L4/5, bulged L3/4 and L5/S1. A snug belt really aggravates things. So I use suspenders to hold up my pants, and the belt to hang stuff from.......mostly IWB holsters.

We were really fortunate finding this place back in 2004. We're on a bit of a hilltop. Great views all around. We do get full-value wind though, but I don't mind.

Only thing I can think of - the box is a place for the shipping labels and bar codes. I ordered one and got one just like that, I was about to send it back ...cuz it didn't work worth a damn...... and then I took the box off. I agree with this, though!

Try to picture the guy who hurt hisself on a shovel, sued, and precipitated that packaging.

I prefer a long handled shovel most times, but wanted this shorter shovel to keep on the side-by-side. The backyard view's not bad, that's for sure. The front yard isn't horrid either,

You had me right up until those flip flops!

Years ago I ordered 3 fiberglass handled spade shovels because Lord knows the local hardware store doesn't sell them...
Anyway we were getting fuel at the Cenex when a UPS truck pulls up and out jumps my old high school buddy and he says I got something for you fuucker! Tosses the shrink wrapped shovel threesome in the back of my pickup and hollers, get to work Samboy!

Weeks/months with boots on, only loosening the laces a bit to sleep. Now I let the dogs breathe as much as possible.

I knew about wrenches of course, but I wasn't aware there are box end shovels. Badabing.
