Cable spade SPEAR & JACKSON 1044 TRD, with step and fiberglass T-handle 78 cm

Cable spade or drainage spade SPEAR & JACKSON 1044 TRD equipped with a straight step and ATLAS T-handle made of plastic, 78 cm in length, with a fiber core. The steps prevent damage to footwear while digging.

This strong forged spade is also known as a trenching spade or drainage spade. The spade is ideal for digging a narrow trench for, for example, underground cable, irrigation or drainage. Thanks to the slightly pointed blade, the spade easily penetrates the soil. Because of the length of the blade, the trench can easily be made deep enough, so that cables and pipes are at a safe depth.

The plastic ATLAS handle is resistant to extremely heavy-duty work thanks to the 21 mm thick fiberglass reinforcement and is virtually unbreakable. The strong plastic protects the fiber core from damage (damaged fiberglass consists of hundreds of upright fibers, which can cause wounds with inflammation). The handle is not completely rigid, but has a certain desired resilient flexibility. The grip of the shovel handle is covered with natural rubber, which provides a good grip.

Because this handle is so strong (stronger than the blade), no warranty is given on the mounted blade in the event of breakage.
