    Small Stainless Groundbreaker Spade

    Built to last a lifetime — literally. The Burgon & Ball Small Stainless Groundbreaker Spade is one of the finest garden spades available, combining nearly 300 years of Sheffield steel craftsmanship with an RHS endorsement and a lifetime guarantee.

    The pointed, sharp stainless steel head cuts effortlessly through tough terrain — moving stones and roots aside rather than stopping at them, making it exceptional for hard or rocky Australian soils. The mirror-polished finish resists rust and ensures smooth, clean movement through the ground, while wide treads at the top of the blade protect your feet during deeper digging.

    The FSC certified hardwood handle features a comfortable 'Y' grip, double riveted at the base for strength. An extra-long, double-riveted strapped socket adds both strength and a critical element of flex at the key joint. This spade has been independently tested to a breaking strain of 90kg — well above the British standard of 55kg.

    Burgon & Ball have been crafting tools in Sheffield since 1730. Their heritage isn't just history — it's the experience that makes these tools some of the finest you can buy anywhere in the world.
