Troubleshooting

Rust appears on the stainless steel head.

Clean the area with a steel wool pad and apply a thin coat of oil to prevent further corrosion. Ensure proper cleaning after each use.

The wooden handle feels rough or is splitting.

Sand down the handle with fine-grit sandpaper, then apply a wood treatment oil to restore its smoothness and protect it from the elements.

The spade is difficult to penetrate the soil.

Ensure the soil is sufficiently watered before use to soften it. You may also want to sharpen the edge of the spade with a file if necessary.

The handle loosens from the socket.

Tighten the rivets if possible, or consider taking it to a professional for repair.
