Burgon & Ball BoronGreen RHS Digging Spade, Green

This super-tough garden spade has been load tested to 100kg, far in excess of the BS3388 British standard of 55kg. A tough powder coating in a distinctive green helps protect from rust. Wide comfort treads at the top of the blade prevent discomfort for your feet. A sharpened edge cuts easily through challenging ground.

The patent-pending thermo-treated handle in FSC-certified white ash wood is designed for comfort, increased durability and moisture resistance. The handle has a comfortable 'Y' grip, double-riveted at the base for strength. An extra-long, double-riveted strapped socket introduces strength and an element of flex at this key joint.

Endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society, perhaps the ultimate accolade in the gardening world. Like all Burgon & Ball RHS-endorsed BoronGreen tools, this garden tool is covered by a 25-year guarantee.

BoronGreen tools feature the superior performance of boron steel. Boron steel is stronger, more durable and tougher than a like-for-like carbon steel tool, without adding extra weight. It's also better at holding an edge for longer. BoronGreen steel is 80% from recycled sources, believed to be a first in UK garden tools.
