The roughneck digging spade is a heavy duty contractor's tool designed for demanding gardening, landscaping and building applications. Manufactured from robust carbon steel with a corrosion resistant tumble lacquered finish, this digging spade is built to withstand the rigours of professional site work and heavy duty projects. The blade features integrated treads that allow you to apply increased downward pressure with your foot whilst reducing the risk of slippage during use. This is particularly useful when breaking through compacted soil or tough ground conditions. The power ring socket incorporates a steel reinforced plug that creates a stronger connection between the blade and shaft, delivering enhanced durability where other spades often fail. The tubular fibreglass shaft provides excellent strength to weight characteristics whilst resisting impact damage, making it suitable for contractors who require reliable performance day after day. Finished with a soft grip d shaped handle, the spade offers comfortable control during extended periods of digging and excavation work.
