Spear and Jackson Neverbend Professional Irish Spade

The Spear and Jackson Neverbend Professional Irish Spade is a heavy-duty digging tool engineered for professional tradespeople and contractors who need reliable performance in demanding conditions. Built to exceed British Standard BS3388 load testing requirements, this professional-grade spade features solid forged carbon steel construction throughout the head and socket assembly, ensuring exceptional strength for daily use on construction sites, landscaping projects, and groundwork applications. The Irish spade design, with its narrow 165mm blade width and 330mm length, is particularly effective for precise digging work, making it ideal for creating drainage trenches, laying cables and pipes, or working in confined spaces where control and accuracy are essential. The weatherproofed hardwood shaft provides excellent durability in all conditions, whilst the treaded design allows for more comfortable digging during extended use, reducing foot fatigue on long jobs. The hammer finish powder coating delivers superior protection against rust, scratches, humidity and alkalis commonly found in soil, extending the working life of the tool. A solid neck design reinforced with three rivets and additional strapping ensures the head-to-shaft connection can withstand the rigorous demands of professional groundwork.
