Spear and Jackson Neverbend Insulated Treaded General Service Contractors Shovel

The Spear and Jackson Neverbend Insulated Treaded General Service Contractors Shovel is a heavy-duty digging shovel built for safe use on or near live electrical cables, fully compliant with BS8020:2011.

The pointed blade is designed for easier ground penetration, making it well suited to cable laying, utility excavation, and general contractor groundworks. A treaded lip adds digging leverage where firm footing and grip on the blade are needed.

The insulated polyfibre shaft resists oil, chemicals, and water, while the double-sleeved socket with integral hand stop provides an additional layer of user protection. The solid forged carbon steel head is powder coated to resist rust, scratches, humidity, and excess alkalis, ensuring long-term durability on site.

Tested to 10kVa, this insulated shovel is the appropriate choice for electricians, utilities contractors, and groundworkers operating in environments where accidental contact with live cables is a genuine risk.
