Key Features of Spear and Jackson Garden Hand Tools

• Forged and pressed steel heads: Strong blades and tines resist bending when working through compacted soil, clay and roots.
• Task-specific head shapes: Pointed shovels, square-mouth spades and flat-tined forks each move or break up material efficiently, reducing wasted effort.
• Handle options: Choose between timber and other handle constructions, with varying lengths and grip styles to suit comfort and leverage.
• Treads on digging tools: A wide tread protects your boots and lets you drive the blade in with body weight.
• Corrosion-resistant finishes: Coatings help blades shed soil and resist rust, so tools clean easily and last longer when stored outdoors.
• Precision hand tools: Trowels, dibbers and weeders have narrow, defined heads for accurate planting and removal of weeds around established plants.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a spade and a shovel?

A spade has a flatter blade for slicing into soil, cutting turf and creating neat edges. A shovel has a more curved or dished blade designed to scoop and carry loose material such as soil, sand or compost.

Which tool should I use to break up compacted soil?

A garden fork or cultivator is the best choice. The tines penetrate hard ground with less effort than a spade and help improve aeration and drainage without inverting the soil too much.

How do I look after my garden hand tools?

Remove soil after each use, dry the blades and wipe metal parts with a light coating of oil. Store tools somewhere dry and check timber handles periodically for splits or rough patches.

Are hand tools or long-handled tools better for planting?

It depends on the job. Long-handled spades and bulb planters save bending for larger areas, while trowels, dibbers and hand forks give better control for pots, borders and close-spaced planting.
