The Turkish manufacturer Nokta Makro has introduced an innovative new tool for detectorists: the Nokta Makro Premium Shovel. This foldable steel shovel is designed with convenience in mind, comprising two detachable parts that can be quickly assembled and disassembled. It is built to withstand harsh digging conditions, making it suitable for various terrains.
Nokta Makro Premium Shovel review
One standout feature is its pointed blade, which includes a serrated edge for cutting through tough soil. Additionally, the T-shaped handle offers a different grip style, potentially providing better leverage for deeper digging. This handle is complemented by a laser-engraved ruler on the blade for precise measurements, which can assist in measuring depth accurately while searching for buried items.
As someone who prefers to dig light while carrying a backpack, I was immediately intrigued by Nokta Makro Premium Shovel. Traditional shovels can be cumbersome and often don’t fit well in standard backpacks. However, I have some reservations about this model. The price point seems high for what is essentially a piece of steel, and I question the practicality of the T-shaped handle. Having used a shovel with a closed handle, I find it more comfortable to grip with my fingers. The T-handle may not provide the same ease during long digging sessions. I plan to test it out and provide a more comprehensive review in the future.
Also, Nokta Makro Premium Shovel offers a curious accessory—a Double-Sided Bottle Opener. While it seems an odd pairing, it adds a quirky touch to their product lineup and could serve as a practical addition for outdoor enthusiasts, allowing for refreshments during long digs.
For now, take a look at the photos; the Nokta Makro Premium Shovel certainly appears promising at first glance.
