Not really.
This is another one of those things that is so simple it seems stupid.
Nope. This kid will be OT rich by his teens.
Good for him.
I can't wait to buy one of those things.

Shovel looks crooked at the bottom, kind of skews the measure. I think people who have eye-balled enough measurements could make an assessment.

This unique shovel is constructed so that indicia extend along the vertical positioning of the implement from the tip of the blade to the top of the handle. The blade and the handle both have indicia clearly marked. Other embodiments are described and shown.
