SPEAR HEAD SPADE

The Spear Head Spade® is designed to handle tough digging situations while reducing effort by up to 80%. The blade profile allows it to find the path of least resistance and gradually cut through challenging conditions. Made of carbon manganese steel, 33% thicker and 25% harder than normal shovels, the blade is beveled and powder coated with an epoxy resin. The forward bent footrests prevent entanglement with roots and allow for more soil to be held. The spade has steel-reinforced fiberglass handles with a cushioned D-grip, making it comfortable to use. It is weather-resistant, low maintenance, and non-conductive. Overall length: 40 inches.
