ATLAS DIAMANT Cable Spade with round treads and strong ash wood T-handle.
Cable spade or drainage spade ATLAS DIAMANT fitted with a round step and ATLAS T-handle with a length of 80 cm, fitted with a through-mount T-grip.
This strong forged spade is also known as a trenching spade or drainage spade. The spade is ideal for digging a narrow trench for, for example, underground cable, irrigation, or drainage. Thanks to the slightly pointed blade, the spade easily penetrates the soil. Because of the length of the blade, the trench can be made sufficiently deep with ease, so that cables and pipes lie at a safe depth.
The blade has a sharp polished edge. This means less resistance while digging and less soil sticks to the blade. The large round step prevents damage to footwear during digging. The round shape of the step keeps it from catching on anything.
The ATLAS spade handle is made from ash rootstock, which contains the best wood. Ash wood is tough, shock-absorbing, and strong. The ash wood has been computer-controlled re-dried in a climate chamber. This prevents the handle from shrinking, keeps the tool firmly attached to the handle, and allows the through-mount T-grip to be pressed onto the handle without glue or staples. The through-mount T-grip feels comfortable in the hand and provides a good grip while digging.
In addition, the ATLAS handle is waxed with plant-based Carnauba, which ensures a longer service life and a pleasantly smooth handle, helping prevent blisters.
