Description

King of Spades KS-Rounded 15″ Blade Spade (with 1 Foot Pad)

Leave standard, easily broken shovels behind for a true heavy-duty experience! Handcrafted in the USA by WW Mfg., the King of Spades KS-Rounded 15″ Spade combines a slightly curved, rounded blade edge with legendary, commercial-grade strength. Known across the landscape and nursery industries as a component of the ultimate digging line, this tool is virtually indestructible.

This specific variation features a deep 15-inch extended blade arriving with one heavy-duty, shock-absorbing rubber foot pad that can be bolted securely to either the left or right turned step. Whether you are an avid home gardener digging large perennial beds, a residential homeowner handling serious yard renovations, or a commercial professional landscaper balling trees and cutting clean sod, this tool makes hard labor feel incredibly smooth.

️ Built for a Lifetime: Key Features & Engineering

• Aircraft-Quality Steel Tubing: The handle and main shank are constructed using zinc-plated, high-strength aircraft steel tubing. It yields maximum structural rigidity to prevent snapping under pressure while remaining surprisingly lightweight.
• 15″ Extended Rounded Blade: Designed with a subtle, rounded edge profile. The extended length gives you excellent deep penetration and clean lifting leverage for soil excavation and tree root balling.
• Virtually Self-Sharpening Edge: The heat-treated alloy steel blade is engineered with a long, tapered cutting edge. It naturally resists dents, nicks, and rock impacts while automatically sharpening itself as you work.
• Interchangeable Bolt-On Rubber Foot Pad: Arrives with one thick, solid-rubber foot pad mounted on steel backing and secured with two heavy-duty bolts. Pre-drilled holes on both steps let you place it on whichever side fits your primary digging foot to shield your boots and boost leg drive.
• Smooth, Rust-Resistant Finish: The entire spade is finished without sharp rivets or rough welds, sporting a smooth coating that fights off rust and sheds mud and sticky clay effortlessly.

Ideas for Use: Clean Slicing, Leverage, and Deep Penetration

The rounded edge of the KS-Rounded 15″ makes it highly effective at pivoting through rocky soil and cleanly carving out rounded root systems.

• Tree and Large Shrub Balling: The extended 15-inch blade allows nurserymen and home landscapers to dive straight down around root systems, cleanly slicing lateral roots to create a perfectly rounded root ball for seamless transplanting.
• Carving Smooth Garden Borders: Use the gently curved edge to create beautifully fluid, crisp, and deep borders between your lawn and native plant beds without jagged edges.
• Excavating Heavy Clay and Compacted Soil: The self-sharpening edge drives easily into tough, stone-filled subsoil. You can rely on the full-steel aircraft tubing handle to safely pry out stubborn clay blocks or rock slabs without fearing a break.
• Digging Deep Post Holes & Trenches: Reach down further into post holes or water lines with fewer scoops, making it an exceptional partner for home fence installation and backyard drainage projects.
