Anaconda Treasure Company (ATC) warrants all NX series shovels for six months against structural deficiencies in material and workmanship. The shovel is made from rugged, heat treated steel manufactured in the USA, designed for many years of cutting plugs and sawing through roots in all kinds of soil conditions, and is therefore extremely resistant to bending and breaking. The shovel is NOT intended for use as a pry bar (i.e. prying cement, ice, or rock formations). This LIMITED WARRANTY will be voided if the shovel is improperly used, abused, altered or repaired. If you believe that your tool meets the criteria for warranty replacement, please contact your local dealer or the Anaconda Treasure Company directly with proof of purchase and a detailed description of the defect, including photographs. If found to be defective due to structural deficiencies in material or workmanship, a replacement will be provided.
