This was the heaviest spade we tested and it does feel weighty in the hand, however this weight can be useful on heavier soils, helping the blade to cut through the soil with ease and the ergonomic handle and soft grip help to make it feel comfortable and well balanced. The textured blade needs cleaning regularly as it clogs easily with mud
