The Spear and Jackson Neverbend Steel Square Mouth Contractors Shovel is a robust digging tool built for demanding site work, combining durability with a lightweight feel that reduces fatigue during prolonged use. Manufactured using an automatic rotary welding process, the socket join achieves perfect weld alignment for maximum structural strength — a key consideration for contractors and groundworkers putting tools under consistent load. The high-strength carbon/manganese steel head is heat tempered for long service life and features an epoxy coating that minimises soil adhesion and protects against rust. The streamlined shaft is contoured to sit comfortably in the hand, making this shovel well suited to tasks such as digging, trenching, and general excavation on construction and landscaping sites. At 711mm handle length with a 320mm x 255mm head, it offers a practical working size for contractor use.
