Demanding jobs call for the toughest tools out there. That's why professionals have relied on Razor-Back tools for more than 80 years. Razor-Back tools are made for pros, built from the strongest materials and packed with the features you expect. This isn't just lip service: we back every Razor-Back tool with a Lifetime Warranty.
Razor-Back tools are made with thick heavy- gauge steel for supreme durability. Our shovel heads, ferrules and sockets are forged from tough American steel, hardened by a unique forging process that we invented 200 years ago.* *Our parent company, Ames, was founded in 1774.

The SuperSocket® is a full five inches longer than standard industrial-grade sockets. Made of hardened steel and featured on many of our long-handled tools, the SuperSocket forges a stronger socket connection for extra reinforcement when you need it most.

Digging through deep, heavy rock and soil calls for brute force and unwielding strength. The PowerStep answers the call with an oversized cleat step for extra leverage, more secure footing and raw power.

Ask any pro and they'll tell you that if a tool's grip breaks, work stops. Razor-Back's durable cushion grips stand up to the most demanding work, absorbing harsh vibrations and reducing fatigue. These grips have been tested tough in all weather conditions, keeping you in control at all times.

For ultimate control and leverage, look no further than the Armor-D grip. Built for heavy jobs, the wood handle is driven inside the steel Armor-D grip. The Armor-D grip encases the wood handle and prevents twisting. The result is increased grip strength and improved safety in the wettest, muddiest conditions – even when dealing with back-breaking loads.

Sure, North American hardwood looks good - but it's strong, lightweight and stiff too. Razor-Back uses hand selected hardwood, known for its shock absorbing qualities, for all of our wood-handled tools. It's durable and splinter-resistant thanks to our premium lacquering process and unique ergonomic design.
