Spear and Jackson Contractors Shovels are built for groundwork where a standard garden spade won't last. The selection is led by the Neverbend line, with forged steel heads and strong shafts for trenching, drainage, cable laying and general site digging. Each pattern has a different blade shape and socket type, so you can match the shovel to the soil and the job.

Pattern options include taper mouth, square mouth, Irish, West Country, Newcastle Drainer and cable laying shovels. The Fencing Cable Grafter is also available for narrow excavation work.

Key Features of Spear and Jackson Contractors Shovels

• Neverbend construction: the name reflects a tough build intended to stand up to repeated heavy digging without flexing out of shape.
• Insulated treaded models: treaded blade tops give your boot a secure platform when driving into hard ground, and the insulated versions suit work where services may be nearby.
• Open and solid socket designs: open sockets are traditional and shed soil easily, while solid sockets give a more enclosed, robust joint between blade and shaft.
• Forged carbon steel heads: the Fencing Cable Grafter uses a solid forged carbon steel head for strength in professional use.
• Tubular steel shaft: adds rigidity along the length of the tool for repetitive, high-impact digging.
• Specialist blade profiles: narrow, tapered and square blades each make a particular task faster and cleaner.

Who Uses Spear and Jackson Contractors Shovels?

Groundworkers, drainage contractors, utility and cable-laying crews, fencing contractors and general builders all rely on this type of shovel. Landscapers and experienced DIYers tackling foundations, soakaways or long service trenches will also find a suitable pattern. Narrow-bladed tools help keep trench widths tight, while broader square mouth shovels shift loose material quickly on site work.
