We make our Leonard All-Steel Nursery Spades using high-quality steel. We equip these spades with orange powder-coated handles. You choose from either a straight or a D-grip handle. Next, we weld these handles to tapered steel blades. These blades feature a flat back and a turned foot step. Choose from either a 13-inch or a 15-inch long blade below. We pre-drill holes into the foot step of these spades. These holes make it easy to attach one of our Rubber Foot Pads. See the grid below for details. Use Leonard All-Steel Nursery Spades for nearly any nursery or landscaping task. Choose the 12-inch blade for general use. The 15-inch blade provides extra reach when you need to dig deep. The flattened back prevents the buildup of soil. The turned foot step gives you a larger surface area which allows for increased control when digging. Leonard All-Steel Nursery Spades provide strength and durability without the added weight. This combination allows you and your crew to tackle nearly any job with minimal fatigue. Dig into the toughest jobs with your Leonard All-Steel Spade knowing that we back this tool with our lifetime warranty! WARNING: All-steel shovels and spades should not be used in areas where underground electric lines, wires, or cables may be present.
