Spade Fiskars Solid+ model 1067517 — sharp XL blade, long handle

The Fiskars Solid+ spade with a sharp XL blade and long handle is a manual digging tool designed for efficient soil cutting and lifting in garden and landscaping work. The hardened steel blade has an extended cutting edge for deeper, cleaner penetration into compact or root-laden soil, while the long handle provides improved reach and leverage to reduce bending and increase working comfort.

Advantages

The sharp XL blade cuts through soil and sod with minimal force, improving digging efficiency and reducing user fatigue. The long handle increases leverage and reach, making it easier to lift and turn heavier soil and to work at a more ergonomic posture. The Solid+ construction combines durable materials and a reinforced connection between blade and shaft for reliable performance in frequent gardening tasks.

Suitable for

• Planting trees, shrubs and perennials
• Creating and maintaining lawn edges
• Transplanting and dividing plants
• Digging planting holes and moving soil
• Breaking compacted or root-filled ground

Key specifications

• Blade type: sharp XL digging blade for improved penetration
• Handle: long timber or composite shaft for increased reach and leverage
• Construction: reinforced connection between blade and handle for durability
• Intended use: manual digging, lifting and edging in garden and landscaping applications
• Ergonomics: designed to reduce bending and improve user leverage

How to use

Position the spade blade at the intended digging point, then step onto the top edge of the blade with steady pressure to penetrate the soil. Use the long handle to lever and lift soil sections or roots, moving the spade in a controlled motion to avoid sudden twisting. For edging, insert the blade vertically and draw along the desired line. After use, remove excess soil from the blade and store the tool in a dry place to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Use the Fiskars Solid+ spade on moderately compacted to firm soils; for extremely rocky ground consider preliminary loosening. Wear appropriate footwear and gloves when digging, and maintain the blade edge with occasional sharpening for consistent performance.
