The Spear and Jackson Neverbend Carbon Treaded Border Spade is a professional-grade garden tool designed for working in confined spaces and between established plantings. This border spade features a solid forged carbon steel head and extra-long socket construction, making it up to 50% stronger than stainless steel equivalents whilst remaining lighter and more manoeuvrable than standard digging spades. The one-piece forged design easily exceeds the BS3388 load test standard, providing exceptional strength and reliability for demanding groundwork tasks. The hammer-finished powder coated head offers improved resistance to rust, scratches and soil humidity, whilst the weatherproofed hardwood shaft ensures long-term durability in all conditions. Ideal for digging and turning over soil in borders, raised beds and between plants where a full-sized spade would be cumbersome, this treaded border spade provides comfortable operation thanks to its footplate design and Supergrip handle with forward tilt for the optimal digging angle.
