PG119 - Root-Cutter Trenching Spade
Ruggedly constructed with a narrow blade for maneuverability in tight spots, this is an excellent tool for precise digging in tough, root-filled soil.
Its blade forms two bevel-edged tips that penetrate easily, and the bevelled saw teeth along each side make quick work of cutting through fibrous roots.
Its resin-encased carbon-steel shaft is set at a forward tilt to let you apply leverage more effectively. With a soft coating for a comfortable grip, its large circular handle accommodates a range of hand positions, so you can choose the best grip angle to bear down effectively without strain.
The 11" long, 5" wide carbon-steel blade has a durable enamel coating to resist rust, and the 1" wide folded steps have a prominent tread pattern, providing a reliable place to register the foot against.
At 42" overall and weighing just under 5 lb, this is a well-made tool built to handle plenty of hard use but also quite capable of careful work.
This trenching spade has a narrower blade for working in tight spots, plus bevel-edged tips and saw teeth that cut through roots instead of just pushing past them the way a standard spade blade does.
It weighs just under 5 lb, which keeps it manageable for repeated digging without sacrificing sturdiness.
The blade is 11" long and 5" wide, narrow enough to work in confined spots like along a fence line or between plantings.
The forward tilt lets you apply leverage more directly as you push the blade down, so digging in dense or rooty soil takes less effort.
Yes, the bevelled saw teeth along each side of the blade are made to slice through fibrous roots, which makes it well suited to digging near established trees or shrubs.
