FAQs

What material is the spade head made of?

The shovel head is crafted from high-quality and durable carbon steel, making it tough and robust for digging and edging tasks.

How long is the spade?

The overall length of the garden spade is 91cm.

Is assembly required?

No, the Lawn Edging Tool typically comes fully assembled and ready for use straight out of the packaging.

How do I maintain the carbon steel head?

Clean the head after each use to remove soil and dry it thoroughly. Store in a dry place and apply a light oil coating periodically to prevent rust.

What kind of handle does it have?

It features a comfortable plastic D-shaped handle designed for a secure grip and reduced hand strain during use.

Can this tool be used for heavy-duty excavation?

While durable for general garden tasks, this spade is primarily designed for digging, edging, and border work. For heavy-duty excavation, a dedicated spade or shovel may be more appropriate.

Troubleshooting

Spade head feels loose from the handle

Inspect the connection point. If it is a riveted or bolted connection, tighten any accessible screws or bolts. For other types, it may require professional repair or replacement.

Rust appearing on the steel head

Light rust can be removed with a wire brush or fine-grit sandpaper. After cleaning, apply a light coat of oil (e.g., WD-40 or mineral oil) to the steel to prevent further rust and wipe off excess.

Difficulty digging into hard soil

Ensure you are using a proper digging technique, leveraging your body weight. For extremely hard soil, consider watering the area beforehand to soften it, or use a different tool designed for tougher conditions.
