Description
These tools are a real innovation in traditional digging tools.
The large, comfortable circular handles allow a greater range of natural hand positions, avoiding wrist strain. The steps on the spade and weeder are larger, higher set and offset slightly from the shaft, to provide a wider surface with better foot registration than traditional steps. The steps are also folded forward and slightly curved (traditional steps fold backward, toward the user, and are straight), which softens the corner to reduce ankle injuries. Last, the angle of the step is slightly greater than the traditional 90° relative to the blade, providing a better push angle.
The spade and fork are ideal for heavy digging, ground preparation and harvesting. The versatile weeder, with its narrow blade, can also be used to loosen hard-packed and rocky soil, for digging in tight spaces around plants, rocks and roots, or as a long-handled dibber.
All the tools have a resin-encased steel shaft core and a stainless-steel head. They are so strong that you can apply over 150 lb of prying force at the end of the handle without breaking it.
The spade is 43 1/2″ long, has a 13″ × 7″ head and weighs 5 lb 4 oz; the fork is 43″ long, has an 11 1/4″ × 7″ head and weighs 4 lb 13 oz; the weeder is 42 1/2″ long, has a 10″ × 2″ head and weighs 4 lb 2 oz.
They are also sold individually.
