Make light work of stubborn soil with the Burgon & Ball RHS Small Groundbreaker Spade. Designed for digging in hard, compacted and stony ground, this robust garden spade features a pointed, sharpened stainless steel blade that cuts through challenging soil with impressive ease. Its distinctive shape helps move stones and roots to the side as you dig, reducing the effort needed to prepare your garden.
The mirror-polished stainless steel head offers excellent resistance to rust and moves smoothly through the soil, while wide comfort treads provide a stable, comfortable footing when digging deeper into tougher ground. Whether you are creating new planting beds or tackling awkward patches of earth, this compact digging spade is built to handle demanding jobs.
The FSC-certified hardwood handle features a comfortable Y-shaped grip, with double riveting at the base for added strength. An extra-long, double-riveted strapped socket reinforces the connection between the handle and blade while allowing a degree of flexibility at this key joint. Tested to a breaking strain of 90kg, this spade exceeds the British Standard of 55kg, offering reassurance when the digging gets tough.
Endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society, the Burgon & Ball Small Groundbreaker Spade combines thoughtful design, durable materials and reliable performance in a compact, easy-to-handle tool.
For taller gardeners, Burgon & Ball's Large Groundbreaker Spade offers a sturdy alternative with a longer handle.
