Great Gifts - Folding Trunk Shovel and Spade from Centurion

Nov. 30, 2010 - PRLog -- Centurion (www.centurionbrands.com) has created a line of space-saving and hard-working shovels that are strong, stain resistant and space-saving.   For homeowners and gardeners with limited space for tools, this is welcome news.   Usually well-designed tools are out of the price range of home gardeners, but Centurion has made better tools affordable.  
“These are small enough to leave in your trunk, but strong enough to dig up shrubs or get you out of an icy snowdrift.  Designing strong, folding shovels with a comfortable handle is new to the tool category and we are pleased to offer it. Focusing on creating the best tools on the market is what we do every day.” says Centurion president Bill Freimuth.

•   Trunk Shovel  
Measuring only 12 inches by 11 inches when folded, this shovel is perfect to store in a trunk for emergencies. During the winter months, it’s comforting to know that you have a 25 inch digger in the trunk when snow and ice puts you car on the skids.  

•   Folding Spade
This little powerhouse folds down to just over 9 by 6 inches.  It might not be the biggest spade in the shed, but when extended -- this workhorse can dig like a champ. It is strong enough to get through rocky soil and the serrated blade means roots won’t slow the job down.  

Centurion shovels are built from the ground up to last for years.  By reinforcing the shovel with a heavy duty aluminum alloy shaft, an incredible amount of force can be used without failure. That's something gardeners will appreciate when digging through compacted soil or prying out that stubborn rock.  The revolutionary “MultiGrip handle” has room for two hands (even with gloves) and multiple gripping locations to provide optimum leverage when digging, prying, or backfilling. Both shovels include a handy storage bag.
Look for Centurion garden tools at a growing number of national retailers and super stores including Home Depot, Grainger and Amazon.com.  For more information about Centurion products, call 610-444-3040 or visit www.centurionbrands.com.
