Every tool here is built around that idea: a spear-point blade in high carbon manganese steel, about 33 percent thicker and 25 percent harder than standard shovel steel, pre-sharpened tip to tail at a 35 degree angle, on a steel-reinforced fiberglass handle tested 60 percent stronger than the EN-3388 standard.

The SHFD3 is built for the harder job: opening ground that doesn't want to open. Its spear-shaped blade is pre-sharpened from tip to tail, so steady foot pressure slides it through sod, clay, and roots that stop a flat-edged spade cold. About 600,000 of these spades are out working in gardens right now, most of them bought on a neighbor's say-so.

A spear point concentrates that same effort into one place. The blade penetrates first, then the sharpened shoulders slice outward as it sinks, cutting roots wherever they cross the edge instead of bouncing off them. In rocky ground, the point slips past stones that stop a wide, flat edge outright.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe steel matters as much as the shape. We use high carbon manganese steel that is about 33 percent thicker and 25 percent harder than standard shovel steel, beveled and sharpened tip to tail at a 35 degree angle. The epoxy coating is designed to wear away at the edges first, so ordinary digging keeps exposing sharpened steel instead of dulling it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt for bodies that have done this a while\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost of our customers are somewhere between 45 and 75, and they didn't buy this spade to work harder. They bought it because a sharp blade does the work their knees and back used to do. Stand close, set the ball of your foot on the wide, forward-bent footrest, and let your body weight press the blade home. No jumping, no stomping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe handle is steel-reinforced fiberglass, far lighter than solid steel and stronger than the work will ever ask of it, topped with a cushioned, UV-resistant D-grip that lets you steer without clenching.

This ten dollar cushioned foam pad is for the other joints doing unpaid work in your garden. Drop it where you're planting, kneel on foam instead of gravel, and get up without the little grimace.
