Spade Verto 15G012 — fiberglass handle, steel blade 32.5 cm, length 1300 mm, blade width 23 cm, black/green

Verto 15G012 is a long-handled spade with a fiberglass shaft and a hardened steel blade measuring 32.5 cm in length and 23 cm in width. With a total length of 1300 mm and plastic components for grip and reinforcement, this tool is built for digging, turning soil and general garden or construction tasks where a balance of strength and manageable weight is needed. The black and green finish identifies the tool while protecting the metal from minor corrosion and wear.

Advantages

The fiberglass handle reduces weight compared with all-steel designs while maintaining rigidity and resistance to bending. The hardened steel blade offers durability when cutting through compacted soil or roots. Plastic moulded components and the shaped grip improve handling comfort and control during prolonged use. The blade’s width and curvature are sized for efficient soil penetration and transport of soil clods.

Suitable for

• Digging and turning garden beds
• Planting trees and shrubs
• General landscaping and ground preparation
• Light construction site tasks such as trenching and moving loose soil

How to use

Position the spade blade at the edge of the soil, step onto the top edge of the blade if additional force is needed, and use the handle to lever and lift soil. For planting, dig to the required depth using the blade length as a guide, then remove excess soil and shape the planting hole. For trenching or edging, use controlled forward motions and allow the hardened steel blade to cut into compacted areas. After use, clean soil from the blade and dry the tool to reduce the risk of corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate hand protection when working to improve grip and reduce blisters. Use the spade within its intended tasks—digging, turning soil and moving loose material—and avoid levering heavy immovable objects to prevent overstressing the handle. Store the spade in a dry location and periodically inspect the blade and handle for damage.
