Faithfull Countryman Digging Spade

The Faithfull Countryman Digging Spade is a robust garden spade designed for tackling large patches of open ground that require digging or turning over. The larger blade makes this tool ideal for double digging, preparing beds, moving soil and other loose materials around the garden or site. The semi-flat blade design offers versatility beyond standard digging tasks, allowing the spade to be used as an effective edging tool whilst remaining tough enough to slice through compacted soil and roots. A treaded top spreads the load across the foot, reducing fatigue during extended use and helping to prevent damage to footwear. The head is manufactured from heat-treated carbon steel, providing both strength and long-term durability. A powder-coated finish delivers improved resistance to rust, scratches, humidity and alkaloids present in the soil. Fitted with a double-riveted European ash handle sourced from FSC® sustainable resources, the shaft is lacquered for weather protection and features an ergonomic soft grip. The angled hilts keep the hand in a natural position to reduce strain on the hand and wrist, whilst setting the blade at an ideal digging angle to minimise back strain. The Countryman Range is designed for gardeners who require reliable tools built for years of dependable service.
