Timbersaws King Planting Spade

The narrow blade enters the harder clay soils much easier. Good in stony ground and opens a small hole for sand work. These spades have their shafts parallel to the blades. The blades are round mouthed and double bevel ground for fast deep penetration of the ground.
Designed for commercial planting projects so these are extremely durable, hard wearing spades that offer high productivity.
The straight (parallel) shaft spades give better and more accurate penetration, whereas the offset shaft spades are better aligned pushing/pulling on the spade to cultivate/open up the soil due to the fact the blade and shaft are offset to each other.
The handle grip is over moulded with a new vulcanized thermoplastic rubber for ultimate grip, comfort and durability. This special over mould substance will not break down with sweat, salt air or U.V and is non slip wet or dry. It also has the lowest rating for muscular activity with less effort needed to grip, less muscle strain and less fatigue for the user. The inside of the spade handle has been made wider for bigger hands with an oval grip for comfort.
The spade handle yoke is made from nylon impregnated with rubber to assist with impact shock absorption.
