What is the Greenman Ergonomic Digging Spade like to use?
This feels well balanced and strong, slicing through heavy soil easily but the long bent shaft divided testers – some found it a pleasure to use but others struggled with its length and shape. The treads were welcome but the could be wider and the criss-cross ridging is shallow and soon clogs with mud and becomes ineffective. The rivets on the capped handle and socket snagged the hands when turning soil
