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.
The flimsy shovel is the weakest shovel in New Horizons, having only 40 uses before it breaks. Other shovels have 100 uses or, in the case of the golden shovel, 200 uses.
In Happy Home Paradise, no villagers or facility unlock this item for designing. It can only be used once the player's DIY catalog is unlocked after completing the 15th vacation home.
