The Appel Spade is a top quality tool. It gives you all the benefits of an ergonomic garden tool and a quality piece of tool art combined.
Why is it Different?
The Appel Spade was designed to use the strength of the tool and the strength of the body efficiently. The spade itself is almost indestructible. It is made of stainless steel and welded into a single, solid tool. Extra strength is added by a second shaft and that is the key to the ergonomics of the Appel Spade.Two shafts allow you to place your foot and hand on the center-line of the spade. The spade has better balance while digging and shoveling and a greater transference of force from your body weight into the spade head.
Does it Deliver?
The Appel Spade delivers over and over again. It is a pleasure to use this tool. The quality and design are fantastic. The dual shaft and spade head design lets you dig through anything. Roots, rocks, clay and anything else the ground possesses are no match for the Appel Spade.The weight of the Appel Spade is easy to manage due to the excellent balance. And the extra weight comes in handy when slicing through thick roots.
The top handle gives you great control and allows you to transition a lot of force from your upper body to the spade blade.
The foot spot is in the perfect place to give you the utmost downward force you can apply to a spade. It also keeps your foot from sliding off the spade when vigorously working it through tough dirt.
The lower handle is at the balance point for a loaded spade, making it efficient to move dirt while digging without straining.
The material and construction of the spade is the best. You do not have to worry about rusting. And you definitely do not have to worry about breaking or bending this tool.
