Pros: This is hardly a "Pro," but I have been able to use the remaining wooden pole (see: "Cons") to inflict harm on various objects/carnivorous rodents in my hole in the ground (shovel pun!) of a room
Cons: The head broke off! Try digging with a thick wooden stick! I have holes that need to be dug!

| Hendrx's Full Review: Nature Craft Mid-Size Round Point Shovel |
I went to college to study Neuroscience, only to learn that my true calling was hunting mice with the remains of a broken shovel. Yes, that's right, the metallic head of my stylish shovel broke off from its wooden handle, and now I am left with a heavy, blunt wooden stick of a shovel.
1. Try to dig a hole with a thick wooden pole (Say this line out loud with a beat and my review takes on an almost hip-hop undertone)
2. There are mice in my room, so, in an attempt to scare one of them, I hurled the wooden pole at one of them, and it not only hit him, but it killed him on impact. I'm not really proud of this on a humanitarian level, because honestly I'm not a big advocate the death penalty (be it mice or men), but just as a side note, consider how hard it would be to hit a mouse with a blunt wooden spear. They're fast, no joke.
3. One should honestly not worry about whether or not their shovel is "stylish," though I would hope that any shovel would be "utilitarian," as it is a tool.
Now, my review. When it was still a shovel, it was definitely a shovel. It dug holes, packed dirt, did all of the essential things that shovels do. And was it stylish? Oh god, was it stylish. I can't count how many nights I sat in front of the fireplace, staring longingly into the reflective blade, reminiscing about the times we spent together. And then, she died. Decapitation took my love from me. Now all I'm left with is a memory (and a heavy wooden pole with which I relieve anger on various unsuspecting inanimate victims). My love, my desire, my Nature Craft Mid-Size Round Point Shovel.
