ATLAS DIAMOND cable spade with round treads and hickory spade handle.
ATLAS DIAMOND cable spade equipped with a round step and ATLAS hickory T-handle, 80 cm long, equipped with a T-grip.
This strong forged spade is also called a trench 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 blade length, the trench can easily be made deep enough 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 while digging. Thanks to the round shape of the step, it does not catch on anything.
The ATLAS T-handle is made of hickory wood. This is a heavy and hard American wood species that is even stronger than ash wood. Hickory wood is particularly tough, shock-resistant, and resilient.
