This spade is really good. It is light, but very strong & goes into the earth easily. I’m so glad to have found it. Now I’m getting older I find the standard size spade to unwieldy & heavy
Perfect!

Poor Quality. Is this a genuine Kent and Stowe?
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 May 2025

Bought this spade after reading all the great reviews. Unfortunately after just a few uses and digging soft dry topsoil it is already broken. Very poor. Finished the job with a cheap B&Q one I’ve had for years. So disappointed. Avoid
