Spade GARDENA CLASSICLINE 120 cm pointed – GARDENA spade 120 cm handle, pointed blade

The GARDENA CLASSICLINE 120 cm pointed spade is a manual digging tool designed for general garden and allotment work. It combines a pointed steel blade with a 120 cm wooden handle to deliver penetration, leverage and reach for tasks such as digging, transplanting, edging and turf removal. The tool targets regular amateur and prosumer use where a durable, straightforward spade is required.

Advantages

The pointed steel blade is shaped for efficient penetration into different soil types, including compacted ground and roots, while the long wooden handle increases leverage and reduces bending during work. The construction is simple and robust, intended to offer reliable performance in typical garden tasks. The spade’s geometry supports precise trenching and clean edging of beds.

Suitable for

• Digging holes for planting shrubs, perennials and trees
• Transplanting and dividing plants
• Edging lawns and creating planting beds
• Turf removal and soil turning
• Creating trenches for irrigation or cable laying at shallow depths

When it may not be suitable

This pointed spade is intended for general garden and allotment tasks and is not a specialized tool for heavy-duty professional excavation or rock breaking. Very large-scale earthmoving, continuous trenching in hard rocky subsoil, or splitting large stumps will exceed the design intent and may shorten the tool’s service life.

Key specifications

• Overall length: approximately 120 cm
• Blade type: pointed steel blade for penetration
• Handle material: wooden long handle for leverage and reach
• Primary uses: digging, transplanting, edging, turf removal, trenching
• Target user: amateur and prosumer gardeners

How to use

Position the pointed blade at the intended digging line and apply steady foot pressure on the top edge of the blade to drive it into the soil. Use the length of the wooden handle to apply leverage when levering out sod, roots or clods. For transplanting, dig a suitable hole, lift the plant with minimal root disturbance and backfill the hole using the spade to firm the soil. After use, remove soil from the blade and store the spade in a dry place to protect the wooden handle and metal blade.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the 120 cm overall length fits your height and preferred working posture
• Consider soil type—pointed blade is best for loam, clay and compacted soils but not for breaking large rocks
• Wooden handle requires occasional maintenance (cleaning, drying, optional oiling) to prolong life
• Not intended as a powered-equipment substitute for large excavation jobs

Usage recommendations

Use the GARDENA CLASSICLINE pointed spade for regular garden digging and edging tasks; keep the blade clean and dry after work and periodically check the handle and blade attachment for tightness. When encountering hard or stony ground, pre-soak the soil or use appropriate breaking tools to avoid damaging the spade.
