This distinctive spade has been tested to a breaking strain of 100kg thats 82% stronger than the British standard. To save your back, it has a longer handle than most spades, crafted in hardwood. The handle is topped with a comfortable 'Y' grip, double riveted at the base for strength. An extra-long, double-riveted strapped socket introduces strength and an element of flex at this key joint.
