DeWit ladies spade ash T handle
- Lightweight yet sturdy
- One-piece forged for exceptional strength
- Lifetime guarantee
Though diminutive in size, it’s every bit as strong as the larger DeWit spades, with a blade forged from a single piece of steel (no welded weak spots) and a sharpened edge to help it slice through soil.
Fitted with a European ash T-handle that’s plenty wide enough for two-handed use, it feels smooth, solid and comfortable in hand.
As the wooden handle will naturally shrink over time, a locking nut fixes the head in place. All you need to do is re-tighten the nut every so often to keep the tool as strong as ever.
Please note: take care not to place excessive strain on wooden handles when levering out roots or rocks in very firm soil. To help, water the area well to soften ground first. A crowbar may be more suitable for very heavy or stubborn obstacles.
N.B. The shape of the T handle has recently been changed to taper slightly at each end (see our DeWit small fork with long T handle for the current design).
