Spear & Jackson 1180NB Neverbend Carbon Steel Digging Spade

I love my new spade. Always bought spear and Jackson from a young age. Great quality. The size is great. Slightly heavier than I expected but that’s the quality your getting. Chopped through the soil with ease which made the garden job’s much easier and quicker. Definitely worth every penny.

Steady and sharp , does the job in the garden

It's a mighty piece of shovel, for sure. A great deal heavier than the generations-of-service spade necessitation sadly replaced, so if you're a wee bit spindly, old and frail like myself that might be worth bearing in mind: it'll dig a hole and crack through inch+ diameter tree roots with ease, but it'll likely make you ache in places you may not have ached before. I couldn't bend it. Would undoubtedly make a good murder weapon and digging under the patio to dispose of the body would be a breeze. Albeit you would likely require a long hot bath or massage afterwards.

A good strong spade I would buy another one

Professional quality that will last forever. Definitely recommend

I got this for general use around the garden, although it's first job has been to dig out holes for new fence posts. My house is over 120 years old, so there have been a lot of posts put in over the years and you can hit concrete or hidden rocks at any time. The spade has no issues with them, it just takes the vibrations in its stride (PS I have broken lots of spades and forks in this garden over the years). I've really pleased with it and happy to recommend.

A good strong spade. Just right for the job.

Bendability. Spades nil. Mine too much
