Spear & Jackson 2153AE 16" Tubular Newcastle Shovel

Good quality at a reasonable price. I would definitely recommend this spade and would purchase it again.

I removed shrubs, replanted others and dug holes for posts. Should have bought one years ago. It compliments a standard spade for more precise digging. Excellent price with Sprear & Jackson usual superb quality.

Possibly one of the heaviest shovels around but no question of its sturdiness and its ability to tackle the heaviest digging. I used it to help me uproot a rampant bamboo. If it can survive that (it did) it can survive anything.

My only concern with this (Spear & Jackson 2153AE MYD Tub Never Bend Newcastle, Blue, 16-Inch) item is that even before use, the D handle looks and feels small in the hand, and I would have thought that the Spade itself, would have had a longer shaft and reach, given the length of the tool.

I have used it just once so far. I am a non-gardener, now establishing a sustainable-living operation (probably it will become a One Planet Development in a while) on my land in Wales. I have a lot to learn, but this spade seems to be up to the quality the name Spear and Jackson suggests. I found that it cut into rather waterlogged clayey soil better than I expected. An experienced gardener might have expected this good performance. I am quite pleased to see what seems to be a hard enamel surface all over the blade of the spade - an alternative, I suppose, to the use of stainless steel, easy to clean, and probably giving a tougher product than stainless at the same weight. The makers' claim that it will 'never bend' seems justified, and I found the spade not too heavy for half an hour's work. Many would need to use it for far longer at a time, and I am sure will find it not too heavy for that, so I should explain that I am near eighty years old. Eric Franklin

Had a good look at other similar products to the Spear & Jackson 2153AE Newcastle 16 Inch MYD Shovel. I bought this to dig out holes for metal railing posts in our front garden, as the ground is right next to a concrete path. I have not yet used it, but it look and feels well up to the job and should save me some time digging.

The Spear and Jackson spade is, very well made and strong, so that it will put up with someone working hard with it. I was also pleasantly surprised at the economic cost of it and how soon I received it thank you so much.

Quality no longer there with this company

Très efficace et solide.Pour déraciner, faire des trous de plantation, prélever des plants

Perfect for bush regeneration work. Great design not to feel the entire weight of the spade.
