The Faithfull Essentials Border Spade has a head manufactured from heat-treated (hardened) carbon steel to provide both strength and durability. The polypropylene and powder-coated finish provide improved resistance to rust, scratches, humidity and alkalis in the soil. The handle is manufactured from tubular steel with a hard-wearing polypropylene coating, making it comfortable to use. Aimed at the homeowner, where quality, frequency of use and price are key considerations. Ideal when space is tight, typically between established plants in a garden border or vegetable patch. The small heads of these tools make them ideal for working in flower beds and for planting smaller shrubs or for someone who finds larger tools difficult to use because of the weight.
