Professional forged steel English spade by Spear & Jackson

This professional English spade from Spear & Jackson, made of forged steel with an epoxy finish, equipped with a very hard wooden handle, an ergonomic grip and a long riveted socket, is a high-quality garden tool that will satisfy demanding gardeners, both amateur and professional. Extremely sturdy, but a bit heavy, it is perfect for heavy-duty work.

The spade is an essential tool, designed for lifting, turning, loosening and crumbling the soil deeply, in small areas. Fertiliser (well-decomposed compost, organic fertiliser, horse manure...) can be incorporated into the soil at the same time it is turned over. The spade, with its sharp edges, can also be used to prepare planting holes, dig, cut roots, or pull out certain vegetable plants (leeks, potatoes, carrots, turnips). This model consists of a very weather-resistant hard wooden handle. The socket is a long, two-lipped socket made of forged steel covered with epoxy, securely attached to the handle with rivets. It accommodates the sharpened blade made of a single piece of forged steel, resistant to both shocks and torsion. The epoxy paint provides additional protection against rust, soil oxidizing agents, and scratches. The shaft, ending with a metal handle covered with wood, in the typical YD style of English tools, multiplies the force: you can exert your full weight to drive the head into the soil. This tool is guaranteed for 10 years by the manufacturer.
