The offset handle is both ergonomic and ingenious in supporting both shovel and hoe mode with a simple 180 degree rotation of the handle in the blade socket. A load balances well in the shovel and the hoe chops, scrapes, and pulls aggressively. Though the back of the shovel blade is flat, the socket protrudes about 1/4" beyond the plane of the blade. When trying to cut a pit wall smooth with the back of the blade, you get a little gouge from the handle socket. Not a huge deal, but something to tighten up in future iterations.
