The Tombo brand shovel is a fixture on construction sites across the Philippines. Available in three lines — Classic, Economy, and All Steel — Tombo shovels are known for their durability and value. Una Wire Products Inc. is an authorized distributor of the Original Tombo shovel in Metro Manila. This guide helps you choose the right variant for your work.
The Three Tombo Lines
Tombo Classic
The original Tombo line with a traditional hardwood handle. The Classic is the go-to shovel for general construction work, earthmoving, and site preparation. It offers a good balance of durability and value, with the wooden handle providing a natural grip that many workers prefer.
| Variant | Best For |
|---|---|
| Classic Spade | Cutting sod, edging, digging in compacted soil |
| Classic Round Point | General digging, scooping loose material |
| Classic Square | Moving flat material, cleaning trenches |
| Classic Scoop 2 | Scooping medium-bulk materials (gravel, sand) |
| Classic Scoop 3 | High-volume scooping of lighter bulk material |
Tombo Economy
The Economy line offers Tombo's trusted construction at a more accessible price point. It is ideal for light-duty use, casual site work, and buyers who need a reliable tool without the premium price of the Classic. The Economy handles the same variants as the Classic but with a more economical build.
| Variant | Best For |
|---|---|
| Economy Spade | Light digging, edging |
| Economy Round Point | General digging and scooping |
| Economy Straight Back | Moving loose material, backfilling |
| Economy Square | Flat work, cleaning up |
| Economy Scoop | Scooping sand, gravel, and aggregates |
Tombo All Steel
For the most demanding jobsites, the All Steel line eliminates the wooden handle entirely. The full steel construction — from blade to grip — provides maximum strength and eliminates the failure point of handle-to-blade connection that can occur with wooden-handled shovels under heavy use.
| Variant | Best For |
|---|---|
| All Steel Spade | Heavy digging, cutting roots and hard soil |
| All Steel Round Point | Heavy-duty general digging |
| All Steel Straight Back | Moving heavy material, backfilling |
| All Steel Square | Concrete work, heavy flat material |
| All Steel Scoop | Heavy bulk material handling |
Which Tombo Line is Right for You?
| Use Case | Recommended Line |
|---|---|
| Daily heavy construction work | All Steel |
| General construction and site work | Classic |
| Light-duty, occasional use | Economy |
| Hardware store resale | Classic or Economy (mix) |
| High-stress environments (concrete, demolition) | All Steel |
