Sneeboer Rock Spade

The Rock Spade features a much narrower, reinforced blade designed specifically to penetrate compacted, rocky, or clay-heavy soils where a wider spade would struggle. Its compact 3-inch blade width allows for precision digging in tight spaces or between established plants without disturbing surrounding roots.

Yes, it is rated for professional grade use. Each tool is hand-forged from hardened stainless steel, ensuring it can withstand the high-torque demands of prying through roots and rocky ground without bending or snapping.

The T-grip provides excellent leverage and control, making it easier to maneuver the spade in confined areas. While it offers a secure hold, the ergonomic Ash hardwood handle is designed to absorb some of the vibration and impact when striking hard ground.

The integrated steps are a practical addition that protects your footwear and reduces foot fatigue when applying downward pressure. They are particularly useful when you need to drive the blade deep into heavy, unyielding clay.

Clean the blade after each use to prevent soil buildup and wipe it dry to maintain its corrosion resistance. Periodically treat the FSC-certified Ash handle with a light coat of linseed oil to keep the wood from drying out or splintering over time.
