About this product
How the Steel Spade works
Digging is the base of most outdoor work: foundations, drainage, planting, graves, fence posts, cables. A good spade makes all of it easier, with a sharp edge that cuts through roots and a shape that lifts a full load without letting it fall off.
The blade is polished steel with a pressed rim at the top, which gives a firm tread for your foot. Because the metal is polished, soil slides off rather than sticking, and the blade tapers to a straight, sharp edge. The shaft is steel, so there is nothing to snap in a heavy dig.
A D-shaped handle at the top gives a secure grip, even with gloves, and lets you push down and twist the load off cleanly. Builders, gardeners, farmers and utilities all use this kind of spade, and we supply it in cartons for shops and contractors.
Before you buy the Steel Spade
An all-steel spade is built for tough, daily digging in stony or rooty soil. The D-handle gives a secure grip, and the pressed tread helps when you push with your foot. Keep the edge sharp for easier work.
