The Draper Stainless Steel Garden Spade is an extra-long digging tool designed for taller gardeners and professionals who need comfortable, efficient ground preparation. This premium stainless steel spade features an extended 1050mm overall length, making it particularly suitable for users 6ft tall and over who want to maintain better posture during digging work. The spade combines a Y-dee handle with soft handgrip for comfortable control, attached to a plastic coated steel core shaft that provides durability whilst reducing maintenance. The fully hardened, tempered and polished socket and blade assembly delivers excellent penetration and long-term edge retention, whilst the stainless steel construction resists rust and soil adhesion for cleaner, easier digging.

This ergonomic advantage also provides increased leverage, making it easier to break through compacted soil and lift heavier loads with less effort.
