Ideal for professional landscapers as well as do-it-yourselfers, this versatile spade is the perfect tool for edging, landscaping, sod removal and transplanting. The straight design allows you to dig perfectly vertical ... something that traditional shovels don't allow. Made to slice through turf, soil and clay with ease, the long blade makes deeper cuts than other spades on the market, so it's great for contractor-sized projects. The elongated neck ferrule provides additional support and reinforcement along the handle, and the extended handle length delivers ample leverage for whatever project you're working on. Engineered to reduce hand fatigue, the virtually indestructible poly grip has a nonslip texture for a firm hold and a D-shaped design that's large enough to accommodate work gloves.
