Quality Spade

This spade is great for transplanting, stripping sod, cutting edges in beds, etc. I gave this five stars, but I think next time I purchase one it will have the shock absorbing handle. Hitting a rock or other debris in the soil tends to send the vibration right up the handle to your hands.

I've used the king of spade throughout my landscape career and it is the best spade available. The introduction of the rubber pad on top is great, due to the fact after years of beating your body, it's a little comfort that goes along way.
