In my case, I used this mostly as an edger. The profile is pretty straight, so it would not hold a lot of dirt. Good
If you want to use them for work, you can bury communications lines with them. Sharpening it every couple of weeks is what I do with an angle grinder. As an alternative, you can also use sandpaper or a sharpening stone.
My blade is about 7 and 1/2 inches wide. The edge is "smooth" and rounded, and I found it easy to use as well as easy to dig with. The one I use the most among all the others is this one.
Twelve is the size of the blade. I am 25 inches tall. My favorite part of this spade is the handle!

As I installed my fence, I originally bought this spade to create edges for a cedar chip dog run. But this bad boy is especially useful when it comes to cutting or digging anything. One day, I had a huge strip of ivy along my front fence that ran 35 feet long and 6 feet wide. I cut the entire thing down in one big piece and rolled it into a ball using only The fact that I was swinging it around like a Viking warrior for 3 hours nearly caused me to pass out, but I now consider it This is the tool to use if you need to cut out roots, vines or branches. It's not too heavy nor too light, but it's just the right weight. I like it because it's like the just-right porridge in It has held up to a lot of torque and there has been no failure of the shaft or In the future, I'll replace the single screw in the handle with a bolt, but for now it's in good shape. You should not let this one pass by without getting one. This is a decision you won't regret. Additionally, I have added a photo of the Ivy on the front of my house since that's how the back of my house used to look before this shovel ate.
To get this slab out, I figured for sure I would have to hire someone with a digger, but since it was old and cracked, I decided to try with a shovel first. With a blade such as this, digging the earth is like slicing through butter. And it lifts and props up concrete slabs like a champ. After I lifted up and took down the patio in about 20 minutes, it was gone! Awe is all I can say about this. It was the best money I have Take a look at my before and after photos and the amazing shovel I managed to find!.
In my case, I used it to dig a trench for an irrigation line. A reinforced handle should be added by driving a screw into the handle. When I tried it, it worked exactly the way I expected it to. The tool felt very solid in my hands, and I did not have any concerns about it Many users claimed the handle would separate from the shaft if the additional screw was not included. It will only take you a few minutes to drill a pilot hole or two and screw in a few This will be a great experience for you.
My job is to cut trenches, lay bricks, bury wires, and handle other construction work. I've been doing this for a year. Using the flat end means the board can also be leveled or smoothed. A hole can be dug quickly and easily with its built-in steps, and I consider the wide handle and steel shaft a plus. You won't have to worry about it rotting like a shovel left outside. I am guilty of neglecting, if not outright abusing, garden tools, so it seems like I am at fault To deduct a star just because the plastic handle faded in the sun seems unfair to me, but I wanted to point it out.
One of the two I ordered had misaligned handles, the other had a fine Due to the fact that the shaft is made of steel, In addition, the plastic recess for the handle surrounds the shaft in a similar fashion, making it impossible to rotate the handle Depending on what this means, one of two things may be true. It is either that the fixture used for welding the shaft to the blade is misaligned or that the process did not allow for the warping of the shaft caused by the heat that naturally occurs during the welding Regardless, this has led to a batch of those being produced that are not up to standard. Whatever factory is making these for Fiskars appears to be having quality control issues.
What's the point of using an electric edger that can do the same job faster and easier? Here's the thing this edger does the job with LESS EFFORT, due to being ergonomically correct, demanding more power from the blade, and thus making manual labor My mouth dropped open when I heard this! It is new to me to do things like edging because I am not a lawn junkie. No way did I expect it to be so easy! Having enjoyed using this shovel so much, I am now edging other parts of my yard since it is THAT effortless and fun to use. My favorite product for years to come! A very robust and sturdy product I will enjoy for many.
My shrub tree got away from me and became too big in the yard, so I had a hard time getting the roots cut out when I finally faced removing it. When I went to Home Depot, the only spade available had a blade that could be sharpened smoothly into an edge, and I was surprised that there were none in stock that measured up. Still, it got the job done. Countless regrets abound, but the only one is that I forgot to scream "You shall not pass" when I plunged this.
