Shovel (pointed) Robi R951 with 120 cm metal handle — pointed digging blade, garden spade

The Robi R951 pointed shovel with a 120 cm metal handle is a garden and worksite tool designed for digging, transplanting and breaking compacted soil. It features a pointed steel blade that penetrates turf and dense ground more easily than a flat spade, and a straight metal shaft that provides rigidity for controlled digging and leverage. The shovel's design balances strength and usability for regular garden maintenance, landscaping tasks and light construction work.

Advantages

The pointed steel blade concentrates force at the tip for efficient penetration of roots, clay and compacted layers while resisting bending during routine use. The 120 cm metal handle increases reach and leverage compared with shorter handles, helping to reduce bending and improve digging efficiency. The straight metal shaft offers durability and stable control when transferring soil, creating holes or edging beds.

Suitable for

• Digging planting holes for shrubs, trees and perennials
• Transplanting and dividing plants in borders and allotments
• Breaking up compacted or clayey soil
• Edging beds and removing turf strips
• Light excavation and material handling on construction sites

Key specifications

• Blade type: pointed digging blade, forged or pressed steel construction
• Handle: straight metal shaft, length 120 cm for extended reach
• Intended use: digging, transplanting, breaking compacted soil, edging
• Typical users: gardeners, landscapers, allotment holders, light construction workers

How to use

Place the pointed blade at the desired spot and apply pressure with the foot on the top edge to drive the tip into the ground. Use the handle as a lever to pry and lift soil, working in repeated steps to deepen the hole or cut through roots and turf. For transplanting, form a hole of the appropriate depth, loosen surrounding soil and place the plant before backfilling and firming the soil. Clean off clinging soil after use and inspect the shaft and blade junction for any loosening or damage.

Usage recommendations

For safe operation wear sturdy footwear and gloves; avoid using the shovel on extremely hard surfaces or with heavy strikes from a hammer. Store the shovel in a dry place and periodically remove rust from the blade and tighten any fittings to prolong service life.
