This spade, often called a 'grafter', is specifically designed for digging deep and narrow trenches, channels, and post holes.
The handle is constructed using the Polyfibre-Pro range's technology, featuring a polyester resin fibreglass core enclosed in polypropylene sheathing, which virtually eliminates handle breakage.
Yes, the integrated treads are designed to enhance user safety by providing better grip and foot protection when applying downward force.
The blade size is approximately 7" to 4"x 16", with an overall length of 28 inches.
While it can be used for digging, its specialized shape is optimized for narrow trenches and holes. For broad digging or moving large amounts of soil, a standard spade might be more efficient.
Clean off soil after each use, dry it thoroughly, and store it in a dry place. Avoid exposing it to extreme conditions.
PYD refers to a profile-moulded grip designed for ergonomic comfort and to reduce hand fatigue during use.
Ensure the handle is securely fixed to the blade. If the issue persists, it may indicate damage and the tool should be retired.
Use a rocking motion to break up the soil. For extremely hard surfaces, consider pre-loosening with a pickaxe before using the spade.
Ensure the treads are clean and free from mud or grease. Worn treads may offer reduced grip over time.
Setup: This tool requires no assembly. It is ready for immediate use upon unboxing.
Compatibility: The spade is designed for manual digging in soil, clay, and similar ground materials. It is compatible with standard digging practices.
