## Questions & Answers

**Q: would this be any good for digging drainage holes as have problems with flooding at one side of my garden?**
A: Hi Emma, We have been delighted with this product which is very strong. I am sure it would be useful for the job as it slices through the ground easily etc. The spade isn't wide but it is long so you get a good depth with it. We are using it in our garden in Spain where we definitely don't have flooding but have concrete type ground through lack of water!!! Best of luck! Hope it works for you. Jacqui

**Q: hi, the handle length is given as 28" what's the full length of the spade. regards**
A: It's 1.1metres long, with the blade 0.4metres long, which makes it a fairly standard length from handle to blade so that you use it as you would a standard spade, it's just that it cuts a more precise and deeper hole than a standard spade and is very good to use for digging post holes and holes to plant trees. It's also a good weight to drive down into the soil and makes the digging easier.

**Q: Is this suitable for digging a wider trench for a garden wall footing or is it just for digging fence post holes, cable trenches and smaller trenches?**
A: Assuming you were building a 9" wall this would be fine if you are banging through hard and / or difficult ground, otherwise I'd stick to something with a larger shovel area, to make removal of the diggings out from the trench easier, if it's a easy dig.

**Q: I have a spike that would not go further. Would I be able to dig around it with this spade? Thank you**
A: If you  have a layer of dense stone or concrete, this spade will likely not dig through it, but if you can pour some water into the hole and soften the hard ground that may be hard clay or clay-based, then you will stand a chance of digging further with this spade.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid, well made.
*by L***M on 21 January 2026*

Solid. Very good quality. Used to dig drainage in hard clay soil. Does exactly what it was made for.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Spade is well made and suitable for intended purpose
*by A***A on 29 November 2025*

Item is well designed and well made, slightly heavy if you’re not very fit but easy enough if you are to dig for most of the day. Used mine to dig a 50m trench for a drainage pipe over a couple of weekends without incident and it made easy work of it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Useful spade
*by A***S on 9 November 2025*

I bought this to dig a 25 metre trench for some new hedging in November (UK) when the weather was around 5 degrees and a conventional spade was finding it difficult to cut through tree roots and hardened soil. This spade is easier to get deep enough into soil. I also like the fact it's one piece of metal making it sturdy for harder jobs. Also heavier than expected which isn't necessarily a bad thing as you can use it's weight to push into ground.
