Of the gardening tools, hand tools, such as a spade, are still very useful and the most used.The first models of it were made of wood, only with the development of the metallurgical industry began to supply them with metal, and thus more durable plate girders.
It is an indispensable tool not only for digging the ground, but also for trimming lawn edges, breaking up soil clods and combating weeds. When buying it, you should always pay attention to the quality of workmanship.The latest models of the spade are characterized by impeccable ergonomics, high accuracy of workmanship and, what is important, remarkable design. Working with such a spade, even frequent, is fatigue-free and absolutely safe.
Leading manufacturers now use materials that guarantee working parts almost lifetime; the highest quality steel and polyamide-reinforced glass fiber are commonly used. A spade for gardening should not be chosen randomly, but always taking into account the height and weight (strength) of the gardener.Special models for ladies are also available.It is worth knowing that the handle of a well-fitted spade should reach the waist.
The shape of the handle and the comfort of work
When choosing a spade, pay attention to the shape of the tip of the handle, i.e. the handle, because it has a decisive impact on the comfort of work. The most popular handles are teardrop-shaped and allow the safest grip - they are irreplaceable in work on heavy soils, requiring the use of greater force.T-shaped and round handles are equally popular.
spade and shovel
To distinguish a spade from a shovel, it is worth looking at their plate girders. The shovel is curved, which means that it deviates in relation to the handle and it is easy to grab soilThe shovel plate is straight and you can easily dig through the ground or plants with it.It should be made of high-strength steel, preferably hardened, or carbon steel.
