      Comments about King of Spades:

      This makes every other shovel obsolete! I will never dig another hole with anything else. Digs straight, deep, square holes easily. Steel handle gives enormous leverage. At first I balked at spending that much on a shovel, but after 1 use, I bought a 2nd one. The best product I've bought in years!!!

        Comments about King of Spades:

        I bought this spade 3 years ago after bending or breaking regular off the shelf spades. Although it may seem expensive, it's worth its weight in gold! I expect that this is the last spade I will ever need to buy. The welded construction is unmatched and has held its edge exceptionally well. This is a substantial tool and well worth the money.

          Comments about King of Spades:

          We love them. My crew just took out over 100 twenty year old Azalea's. I am a female and they are light weight enough that I can use them. We have used many different digging spades and most of them just don't hold up.

            Comments about King of Spades:

            By far the best tool I have ever used for planting trees and shrubs around the house. A professional Landscaper lent me one and I could not believe how much better it worked than a shovel. Ordered one the next day. Expensive but will last my lifetime and maybe a few more!
