This National Trust
high-carbon steel digging spade echoes the style and quality of the garden
tools of yesteryear. Celebrating traditional manufacturing techniques, the
attention to design detail results in a garden spade with strength and
durability, created to make gardening easier for everyone.
This garden spade has been tested to
a breaking strain of 100kg – that’s 82% stronger than the British standard. The
high-carbon steel head and socket are solid forged from a single piece of metal
for optimal strength, with a textured powder coating in a distinctive antique
bronze shade to protect from corrosion. Wide comfort treads at the top of the
blade prevent any discomfort for feet. A robust D-handle in high-carbon steel
gives maximum life, and the joints at socket and D-handle are double-riveted
for a secure connection. The FSC® ash shaft and grip give enduring comfort, and
the shaft bears a brass plaque as a hallmark of the reassurance of these two
trusted names in gardening.
Like all our National Trust tools,
this digging spade carries a ten-year guarantee. By purchasing these tools, you
are helping the National Trust look after special places for ever, for
everyone. Browse the National
