The Spear and Jackson Rabbiting Spade is a solid forged, heavy-duty digging tool from the Agricultural range, built for demanding work across large gardens, smallholdings, equine settings, and farming environments. Its narrow head profile makes it particularly well suited to digging fence post holes, planting sapling trees, and transplanting small shrubs and bushes. The compact blade width allows precise penetration into heavy clay soil where broader spades struggle. Constructed with an extra-long socket and weatherproofed ash handle, this spade is designed to withstand repeated heavy use without compromising structural integrity. The powder-coated carbon steel head resists rust, scratches, humidity, and excess alkalis, making it a reliable choice for year-round outdoor work.
