Solid-forged carbon steel heads, hardwood ash handles and welded steel shafts that handle full-day digging, lifting and cultivating without flexing or failing. The range covers digging spades with treaded blades for heavy clay and compacted soil, border spades for planting and precise work, the professional Drain Master grafting spade for trench and post-hole work, square-mouth site shovels for shifting loose material, four-prong digging forks, border and hand forks, manure forks for agricultural use, 12-tooth, 16-tooth and 20-tooth rakes, Dutch hoes, pick axes and professional post augers. Heritage tools with ash wood handles add traditional craftsmanship to a working range.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a digging spade and a border spade?
A digging spade has a larger, flat blade optimised for breaking and turning soil, lifting and digging in open ground. A border spade has a narrower, lighter blade for more precise work in planted borders, raised beds and confined spaces.
What is a grafting spade used for?
A grafting spade, also called a drainage spade or drain spade, has a long narrow blade designed for digging trenches and post holes. The JCB Drain Master is specifically built for drainage installation, fencing and groundwork where a standard spade is too wide.
Are JCB garden tools suitable for professional contractor use?
Yes. The JCB garden hand tool range is built to professional standards with solid-forged steel heads and robust handles designed for full-day contractor use in landscaping, groundwork and agricultural applications.
