What is the Sneeboer Digging Spade with Steps like to use?
The Sneeboer spade is a joy to use and testers love its look, feel and design, the handle is smooth and the blade is sharp and heavy driving through the soil easily and cleanly.
However, the very long shaft is really only possible for taller users, over 5’6 and all testers wished the T grip handle was longer and more substantial.
Will the Sneeboer Digging Spade with Steps last?
The socket was surprisingly short, particularly compared to other spades tested and raised the worry that the shaft could snap after prolonged heavy use – there is only a one year warranty on this which confirms our thoughts. However, this can be easily replaced and the steel spade blade and socket feel well built and strong
Is the Sneeboer Digging Spade with Steps good value for money?
