I wanted to get a shovel to replace an old shovel whose handle finally cracked. So I did various internet searches and found hundreds of shovels from hundreds of companies.
Then I read this Bully shovel is made in the USA (note that most shovels are not), so I decide to give it a shot.
I was shocked when this shovel arrived on how well made it is. I ordered the 92510 Super Heavy Duty shovel model and it comes with a massive amount of steel. But better than that, it has an additional thick steel weld strip on the back to help guard against the shovel head cracking under extreme lift or leverage. I know I use my shovel to lever up a large root or rock all the time, so this extra steel is important to me.
This shovel is built like a tank because every area of potential cracking or failure is reinforced, such as the back of the shovel head.
Using this shovel has been fine and it works as obviously as one would expect a shovel to operate. Hard to mess up shoveling, but I do feel the blade on this shovel helps me cut through earth and roots easier than my old shovel. Hard to compare because the blade on this shovel is, of course, new and sharp.
I expect this shovel to last years easily, perhaps decades. The handle is fiberglass which I am looking forward to since my old wood handle shovels could leave splinters as they aged.
A solid purchase and I highly recommend this Bully shovel. Made in the USA definitely equals quality for this product and that's a nice plus.

Good but not great
If you are just looking for a shovel to use as a tool and don't necessarily care for perfection then this shovel is still a decent option. I was interested in this shovel because of its heavy 12gauge steel head. When I got the shovel I noticed it was rusting from the factory, origional finish was cheap and already chipping, fiberglass handle felt cheap in comparison to other shovels I have used, and the head of the shovel did not have an edge on it and when it was originally made the company didn't even bother to completely smooth out the edges on the head of the shovel. As u can see from the pictures the shovel head has two distinct edges on the left side of the face where as the right side has a nice even curve. Again I am only picking out the flaws and after 10 seconds of work I'm sure nobody would care about these aspects but I felt the product I recieved was sub par in comparison to other options for its price. I returned this item and purchased a John deer shovel from ace hardware and I was also able to snag a fiskars heavy duty all steel shovel for $21. Both of these shovels I would say are of better quality than this shovel.
