The Flimsy Shovel is a tool item in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. As a shovel, the player can dig holes, fill holes, and bury or plant items. The player will use this item for 40 times whenever the player digs up a fossil, plant, or buried item, hits a rock for items (the item will break once the rock produces no more items) or after eating a food item, digs up a tree or breaks a rock. The Flimsy Shovel cannot be used on any players' islands unless they are marked as a Best Friend.

The Flimsy Shovel can be obtained from either Nook's Cranny after unlocking the shovel in the story for 800 Bells, from Wilbur on Mystery Islands for 100 Nook Miles, or from crafting, which requires 5× Hardwood. The recipe for this item can be obtained from either Blathers or Nook's Cranny for 280 Bells.
