Description
Close work happens on your knees, so this set gives you something for both ends of it. The 30 inch SHMini is our precision spade, short enough to work inside a crowded bed without wrecking what is already planted, and the cushioned foam kneeler is what you put down before you start. Two gifts, one gardener, no guessing on size.
What is in the set
-
Spear Head Spade SHMini, 30 inch precision spade. The same double-patented spearhead blade as the full size tool on a shorter fiberglass handle, for transplanting, dividing perennials, planting bulbs and digging in tight quarters. Wide foot rest, D-grip.
-
Spear Head Spade garden kneeler, a cushioned foam pad with a cut-out carry handle. The mini's natural partner, since precision work is done at ground level.
Why it makes a good gift
It suits the gardener who already owns a shovel and does not need another one, and the gardener with more beds than lawn. The mini is the tool people reach for once they have it, and the kneeler is the thing nobody thinks to buy for themselves.
The spade itself
Tempered carbon manganese steel, 33 percent thicker and 25 percent harder than standard shovel stock, and a blade curved like a shovel but pointed and sharpened like a spade. That combination is where the up to 80% less effort than a standard shovel comes from. It never needs sharpening: the factory edge runs tip to tail at a 35 degree bevel, and the powder coat wears away gradually to keep exposing it.
