What is the Fiskars Xact Pointed Spade like?
This has a sharp, boron steel pointed blade with wide, flat treads that have textured holes in to allow mud through and help feet get extra grip on the blade. The shaft is chunky and ergonomic and made from composite and steel and the D-handle is moulded plastic with a soft-grip rubber insert.
What is the Fiskars Xact Pointed Spade like to use?
This spade feels great. The long ergonomic shaft is kind to the back and is balanced and light, yet strong enough to cut through hard, compacted ground. The handle is comfortable and the shaft has a plastic cover, so it's smooth on the hands. The wide treads on the blade offer good grip. Some shorter users found the ergonomic shaft too long, but this spade is available in both medium and large sizes for different height users.
