Our Kew Gardens Collection Neverbend Carbon Digging Spade is ideal for heavy digging and turning over soil. FSC certified wooden split YD ashwood handles, weatherproofed for greater durability. Solid forged from a single piece of steel for greater strength. Hammer finished powder coating for improved resistance to rust, humidity and alkalis in the soil. Longer handles reduce the need for bending and helps against back strain. At least 50% stronger than stainless steel.
