The WORKFORCE 28" Drainage Spade is a great, multipurpose tool for the home gardener. Clearing narrow spaces or applications that require a longer spade are a breeze. The fiberglass handle is extra stiff to prevent snapping, splintering and warping yet light enough to not weigh you down as you work around your yard or garden. At the top of the 28 inch handle is a premium molded D-Grip. This D-Grip provides excellent control and comfort when cultivating. It's contoured to easily accommodate hands in single or double grip formation and provides and excellent way to control the cultivator as you work. Combined with the short handle length, this shovel is extra maneuverable, granting fine control to make quick work of jobs. The business end of the drainage spade is the heavy-gauge powder coated steel head. Measuring 5" wide this spade can hoist a decent amount of soil while still giving you fine control. The rugged construction of the entire spade is resistant to warping, cracking splintering and rusting for strength and durability that will last. When you need to make quick work of drainage ditches or pull soil from narrow spaces, the 28" drainage shovel from EMSCO Group is perfect for the job.
