Burgon & Ball RHS Transplanting Spade

This long, narrow-bladed garden spade is perfect for digging amongst dense planting, for example in a tightly-packed border. Despite its slender shape, however, it is extremely strong. It has been tested to a breaking strain of 100kg – that’s 82% stronger than the British standard.

The mirror-polished stainless steel head gives rust resistance and clean movement through the soil. Wide comfort treads at the top of the blade prevent any discomfort for feet, allowing you to really dig deep – but without disturbing neighbouring planting.

The certified hardwood handle has a comfortable 'Y' grip, double riveted at the base for strength. An extra-long, double-riveted strapped socket introduces strength and an element of flex at this key joint.

This stainless steel transplanting spade is endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society, perhaps the highest accolade in the gardening world. Like all our RHS-endorsed stainless steel tools, this spade is covered by our lifetime guarantee.

• Handle: Certified hardwood
• Head: stainless steel
• Head dimensions: 28cm long x 14cm wide
• Overall length: 104cm
• Weight: 1.86kg
