{"product_id":"insulated-square-mouth-shovel","title":"Premier Fully Insulated Square Mouth Shovel","description":"\u003ch2\u003ePremier Fully Insulated Square Mouth Shovel\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThis Premier Fully Insulated Square Mouth Shovel is certified for safe digging near live buried cables. It is individually numbered, flash tested to 10,000 volts, and fully BS8020 compliant. Utilities contractors, DNO teams, and groundworkers trust it for live cable working daily. It meets every requirement of the BS8020 standard for insulated hand tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eDouble-Layer Insulation System\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe shovel features a twin-layer polymer sheathing system over a rigid fibreglass core. The outer layer is high-visibility orange, chosen for high voltage and abrasion resistance. A white inner sleeve sits beneath it as a built-in safety warning indicator. If the orange layer wears through and white becomes visible, remove the tool from live working immediately. This two-tone warning system gives a clear, reliable sign of reduced protection on site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eSquare Mouth Blade\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe square mouth blade is the most versatile profile in the insulated shovel range. It excels at moving loose material — sand, gravel, ballast, and spoil — quickly and efficiently. It is also well suited to concrete mixing, backfilling trenches, and reinstating excavations. The flat leading edge maximises load capacity with each scoop, reducing the number of lifts required. A specially contoured collar above the blade prevents the hand slipping onto the steel. This is a critical safety detail when working near live conductors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eFibreglass Core Handle\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe handle is built around a rigid fibreglass core, not wood or hollow plastic. Fibreglass does not conduct electricity and resists moisture, flexing, and snapping under load. The polymer sheathing adds a further layer of grip and insulation suited to all site conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eFull BS8020 Certification\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eEvery Premier Fully Insulated Square Mouth Shovel is flash tested to 10,000 volts before leaving the factory. Each tool is printed with the BS8020 1000V logo and carries a unique serial number. This ensures full traceability and compliance with live cable working specifications. No two tools share the same number, making site audits and records straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eWhat Does BS8020 Mean?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBS8020 is the British Standard for insulated hand tools used near live conductors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eTools must withstand a flash test of 10,000 volts before receiving certification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eThe working voltage rating is 1,000 volts AC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eEach tool must be individually numbered and traceable to its test certificate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eUtilities and DNO groundwork teams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eHighway and road maintenance crews\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBackfilling and trench reinstatement work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eConcrete mixing and ballast handling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eAny live cable environment requiring BS8020 compliance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Builder's Buddy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52165531533640,"sku":"SH0151","price":44.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8667\/2456\/files\/sh0151__54757_1cecdd3f-3d31-4c53-98aa-5b0c9cb50852.jpg?v=1765377861","url":"https:\/\/www.buildersbuddy.co.uk\/products\/insulated-square-mouth-shovel","provider":"Builder's Buddy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
