Carter Tubular Steel Garden Spade with MYD Handle

Carter Tubular Steel Garden Spade with MYD Handle

When there's serious digging to be done, you need a garden tool designed to cope with the demands of the job. The Carter Tubular Steel Garden Spade combines strong steel construction with a practical MYD handle to create a robust tool for garden and ground preparation.

Carter has a long history of manufacturing professional hand tools, and its tubular steel handle construction is designed with strength and rigidity in mind.

Rather than relying on a conventional wooden shaft, this spade uses a tubular steel handle, providing a strong connection between the user and the working end of the tool. It's a construction particularly well suited to repeated digging and more demanding ground work.

The MYD handle provides a defined hand grip at the top of the shaft, giving you somewhere secure to hold the tool when pushing the blade into the ground, lifting soil or working through a digging area.

That makes the spade a versatile choice for many of the jobs that arise when maintaining or changing a garden.

Use it when turning over soil, preparing beds and borders, digging planting areas, working through previously cultivated ground or tackling general landscaping and garden maintenance.

A steel spade can also be particularly useful when preparing a garden for larger projects, whether you're reshaping an existing border, clearing an area before planting or carrying out seasonal ground preparation.

At approximately 2.3kg, the tool has a reassuringly substantial construction while remaining practical for the repetitive movements involved in digging.

For gardeners who prefer the durability and feel of steel-handled tools, this Carter spade provides a straightforward, hard-working addition to the garden shed.

How to Use

Inspect the spade before use and make sure the blade, shaft and handle are in sound condition.

Identify the area you intend to dig and check that there are no known underground cables, pipes or other services where deeper excavation is required.

Position the blade where you want to enter the soil.

Hold the MYD handle securely and place an appropriate foot onto the top edge of the blade where suitable.

Apply controlled downward pressure to drive the blade into the ground.

Use the handle to work the blade through the soil before levering and lifting the material as required.

For larger areas, work methodically in sections rather than attempting to move excessive quantities of soil at once.

Avoid using the spade as an inappropriate lever against immovable objects, as excessive sideways force can damage digging tools.

After use, remove accumulated soil and debris from the blade.

Dry the tool where necessary and store it securely in a clean, dry location to help maintain its condition.
