How to use

Hold the Fiskars XACT Rounded spade with both hands, placing one hand on the ergonomic handle and the other on the shaft for leverage. Position the rounded blade at the target spot, step onto the top edge of the blade with your foot to penetrate the soil, then pull back on the shaft to lift or loosen soil. For planting, use the blade to create an appropriately sized hole, place the plant and backfill the hole, tamping gently. For edging or trimming, insert the blade vertically and slice along the desired line. Clean off excess soil after use and store in a dry place.

Usage recommendations

For best results and longer tool life, use the spade for tasks matching its rounded blade profile—digging, transplanting and soil turning. Avoid prying large rocks or using the spade as a lever for heavy roots or construction debris. Regularly remove soil residues, dry the blade after use and sharpen or touch up the cutting edge as needed to maintain efficient soil penetration.
