Digging Spades with Long Handles

A straight, long handle and a flat spade blade distinguish this garden digging tool. The two foot treads provide a place to position a boot when working the blade into soil.

Compare the straight-handle layout with the shorter D-grip models in this range. Check the required overall length for your application when requesting a quotation; blade dimensions and complete-tool length are separate measurements.

A long straight handle meets an offset neck and a cupped, square-ended blade. This layout gives a different blade profile from the flat, treaded digging spades in the range.

This digging spade uses a straight ash-wood pole and measures 1500 mm overall. A flat 290 × 180 mm carbon steel head meets the handle through an extended socket.

The long open-ended pole offers a different hand position from a short YD grip. Compare the 2.5 mm blade and flat digging face when selecting tools for bed preparation and soil turning.

An extended rear grip sits at the end of the straight handle on this flat border spade. The carbon steel blade and fiber-and-rubber handle configuration measure 58.66 × 8.86 inches overall.

The long pole offers a different working position from a short D-handle border spade. Compare the flat mouth and blade-to-socket angle when choosing a tool for digging and shaping garden beds.

A 54-inch straight tubular handle connects to the tapered 13-inch steel digging head. The blade has rolled shoulders with mounting holes and narrows from 7 3/4 to 6 1/2 inches wide.

Compare the long open pole with a 27-inch D-handle construction when planning tool reach and hand position. The straight cutting mouth and drilled shoulders distinguish the head from a diamond-point blade.

A broad diamond point finishes the flat 13-inch steel digging blade. The head measures 7 1/3 inches wide and is paired with a 54-inch straight tubular handle.

Compare the angular diamond mouth with a straight-edge digging head when selecting blade geometry. The long open handle provides a different upper hand layout from a short D grip.

This full-strap digging spade combines a 48-inch straight ash handle with a low-lift steel blade. Long riveted straps reinforce the shaft connection for repeated downward digging around borders and nursery plants.

The open straight handle offers more hand spacing and standing reach than a short D grip. Its 13-inch blade narrows from a broad shoulder to a straight cutting edge for controlled soil cuts.
