Key Features of Spear and Jackson Digging & Raking Tools

• Contractor-grade construction: the contractors range is designed for demanding site work, so blades, tines and handles are built to cope with hard ground and heavy loading.
• Task-specific heads: spades suit cutting and digging, shovels suit lifting and moving loose material, forks suit breaking and turning soil, and rakes suit levelling and clearing. Choosing the right head saves effort and gives a cleaner result.
• Farming-specific designs: farming shovels and forks are shaped for scooping and throwing bulk material, while hay rakes gather loose crop and bedding efficiently.
• Compact mini shovels: a shorter format gives better control in confined areas, such as small beds, vehicle footwells or under decking.
• Hand-tool simplicity: there are no batteries or cables, so the tools are ready whenever you are and suit work where power is not available.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a spade and a shovel?

A spade usually has a flatter blade for cutting into soil and shaping trench edges. A shovel has a more curved, scooped blade designed to lift and move loose material such as sand, gravel or soil.

Which tool is best for levelling soil or aggregate?

A contractors rake is the best choice for spreading and levelling. Use a shovel to move the material into place first, then rake it to the required finish.

Are farming shovels and forks suitable for garden use?

Yes. They are designed for bulk handling, so they work well for moving compost, manure or bedding in larger gardens, though they may be bigger than needed for small borders.

When should I choose a mini shovel?

Choose a mini shovel when space is limited or the task is light, such as planting, clearing small areas or working in tight spots. For trenching or heavy loading, a full-size contractors shovel or spade is more suitable.
