Forestry Suppliers Rhino Tool

Our version of the commonly modified “Rhino” Firefighting Tool! This heavy-duty tool is made from a USFS spec fire shovel that features a high carbon steel blade. The head is rotated to a right angle, and the pointed tip is cut off to a 7˝ wide beveled blade to provide a highly effective scraping tool for use on the fireline. Our version varies from typical modifications in the way the handle attaches to the head to create a better balanced tool that is more comfortable and easier to use. This heavy-duty beast also works great for chopping and digging, making it ideal for landscaping applications as well. 38˝ Ash handle. Made in USA.

I own this shovel. I use it when mining for gold. It is awesome, tough, and can be used for a variety of digging activities. It is the coolest universal digging tool I have. I’ll buy another if mine ever wears out.

I have had this rhino for 3 fire seasons here in Idaho and I have used it on many fires. I have named mine Clarice. It is super good in a variety of fuel and soil types. Biggest issue for it is really rocky terrain. It's the perfect hardness for sharpening and holding an edge. It is also very hefty.

I think the 38" handle is too short unless you are willing to bend forward all day? It may be fine for a short job no more than 10 minutes..

It's not going to win a beauty contest. It's literally a shovel that has been chopped apart, then welded back together. And in true Frankenstein fashion this tool is a solid beast! I prefer it over a hoe because its heft makes cutting roots a delightful experience. Plus, it has 3 effective flat edges enabling you to re-shape the earth with ease.

Ordered the tool and received within 4 days. Opened the package was packed well. My girlfriend's husband was concerned with what he thought were normal "packing peanuts" and something about destroying the environment. I casually had him go grab a bowl of water and demonstrated the biodegradable nature of the packing and had him add the bulk to the mulch pile. The welds are solid and the Rhino has a good balance and weight. The head doesn't look like it needs a sharpening. The handle has a nice coating but I will be having the girlfriends husband sand it down and giving it a good coat of Linseed oil. Great product.

This is the best hoe on the market right now. It’s made from a FSS shovel which is a high quality forged shovel which I also highly recommend. Rock solid FSS shovel style cross pinned handle connection. Great for trail building where soil is hard and rocky where the McCleod struggles. Highly recommend and worth every penny.
