What is the Kent and Stowe Stainless Steel Pointed Spade like to use?

The long shaft and balanced design make this spade a pleasure to use. The handle is comfortable and the smooth socket means lifting and turning the soil is trouble free. The pointed stainless steel blade cuts through stony soil with ease and sturdy foot treads make digging easier by stopping the foot slipping and protecting the soles from the edge of the blade. With the widest of the pointed blades in our test, some found the blade cumbersome and difficult to manoeuvre in confined spaces.
