Q: What comes in this digging set?

PG103 - Radius Ergonomic Stainless-Steel Digging Spade & Fork
These tools are a real innovation in traditional digging tools.
The large, comfortable circular handles allow a greater range of natural hand positions, avoiding wrist strain. The steps on the spade are larger, higher set and offset slightly from the shaft, to provide a wider surface with better foot registration than traditional steps. The steps are also folded forward and slightly curved (traditional steps fold backward, toward the user, and are straight), which softens the corner to reduce ankle injuries. Last, the angle of the step is slightly greater than the traditional 90° relative to the blade, providing a better push angle.
The spade and fork are ideal for heavy digging, ground preparation and harvesting. Both tools have a resin-encased steel shaft core and a stainless-steel head. They are so strong that you can apply over 150 lb of prying force at the end of the handle without breaking it.
The spade is 43 1/2" long, has a 13" × 7" head and weighs 5 lb 4 oz; the fork is 43" long, has an 11 1/4" × 7" head and weighs 4 lb 13 oz.
They are also sold individually.

Both the spade and fork take over 150 lb of prying force at the end of the handle without breaking, thanks to a resin-encased steel shaft core and stainless-steel head design.
The spade has a solid 13" × 7" blade suited to cutting into ground and moving soil, while the fork's tines work better for breaking up compacted earth or lifting root-bound plants without slicing through them.
Yes, both the spade and fork share the same large circular handle design, which lets your hand settle into a more natural position and reduces wrist strain compared with a standard straight grip.
