Spear & JacksonFG-HD54 Fencing Grafter 54", Grey

I was thinking of getting a different tool(post hole digger)for digging posts and glad I bought this shovel instead. Not only was it easy to dig holes for posts I even used it for loads of roots and some small tree trunks. Dont hesitate and buy this great tool and well made.

Was sceptical at first as looked cumbersome and thought would be uncomfortable to use. I'd need not have doubted this tool. Fire in the grafter and you'll be breaking into that hole or trench with ease. Have used this on many jobs and had worked well. It doesn't want to take great leverage as can feel it trying to bend but for going down and widening holes it'll serve you well. Used in conjunction with a breaker bar and post hole digger. Nice narrow blade for whacking into tight spaces. 'Send in the grafter'! As long as I don't over lever it and I use braker bars when in rock or concrete this should last for years. 🙂

Good strong and handy weight

Sturdy product, came well packaged. Great help when digging for a fence post. Not too heavy but enough for it to be sturdy

Good product but will only last couple of years as the shaft at head will weaken eventually

Solid tool. Very heavy. No good for prolonged use. Far lighter and better post spades out there

This is a brilliant spade, it cuts through the most stubborn roots like a hot knife through butter! This is no lightweight , which is why it works so well and why i skipped the lightweight stars!! I suspect it will outlast me as its built so well!!

This is my fist amazon review, but after using this tool for many hours I just had to say how great it is. I've just sunk in a number of 9 and 10 foot concrete posts, and this tool does a great job at making a nice small and deep hole for these. You need to scoop the soil out with your hands, but the spade makes it loose for this (my soil rocky and sandy). Great sharp ends for cutting tree roots if you come across them. Well worth the investment for me.
