King of Spades 12″ Ultra Lite Long Handle Spade (with 2 Foot Pads)

Say goodbye to snapped wooden shafts and bent blades! Handcrafted in the USA by WW Mfg. (the innovators of legendary spade technology), the King of Spades 12″ Ultra Lite Long Handle Spade is arguably the ultimate digging machine.

This specific configuration arrives complete with two pre-installed rubber foot pads, making it an absolute game-changer for heavy backyard projects or commercial nursery work. If you are an avid home gardener who demands premium, commercial-grade gear that won’t break your back—or a professional landscaper needing a lightweight tool that handles grueling everyday use—this is the forever shovel you have been looking for.

️ Built for a Lifetime: Key Features & Engineering

• Aircraft-Quality Steel Tubing: The extra-long handle and structural framework are made from high-strength aircraft steel. It is virtually unbreakable under normal digging conditions, yet weighs a surprisingly agile 5.75 lbs.
• 12″ Heat-Treated Alloy Blade: Unlike standard stamped metal shovels, this alloy steel blade is meticulously heat-treated and tempered to withstand intense prying and deep slicing without warping.
• Self-Sharpening Cutting Edge: Features a long, tapered cutting edge specifically engineered to resist dents, nicks, and rocks. It actually sharpens itself as you slice through tough soil.
• Dual Rubber Foot Pads Included: Save your boots and your feet! This spade comes equipped with two thick, shock-absorbing rubber foot pads bolted securely to the blade steps. It gives you double the surface area for driving maximum leg power into hard ground.
• Rust-Resistant, Smooth Finish: Coated in a sleek, protective finish that sheds sticky clay, wipes clean in seconds, and fights off rust for decades of outdoor use.

Ideas for Use: Power, Control, and Versatility

The combination of an extended long handle and a compact, lightweight 12″ blade makes this spade handle like a dream. It gives you incredible leverage while effortlessly slipping into tight spots.

• Slicing Through Tough Roots: Use the razor-sharp tapered edge to sever thick taproots, clear stubborn brush, or break through dense, matted root networks like goldenrod and comfrey.
• Effortless Tree & Shrub Transplanting: Dig clean, professional-grade root balls when moving shrubs or young trees without damaging the surrounding grass or flower beds.
• Deep Trenching & Edging: Perfect for cutting perfectly crisp, straight borders along driveways, clearing out clean irrigation trenches, or prepping deep planting holes for native perennial installations.
• Rock & Clay Excavation: Rely on the aircraft-grade steel shaft to safely pry loose heavy rocks, thick clay blocks, or buried pavers where wood or fiberglass handles would instantly snap.
