The high-quality and sturdy BRITTA spade is often referred to as a ladies' spade because its blade is smaller, making the spade lighter than conventional models. This makes digging or moving large amounts of soil—especially in heavy soils—much easier. This lightweight spade is specifically designed for smaller and more delicate individuals who prefer simple and easy handling, as well as for professionals who want to use the spade for extensive planting work. This elegant spring spade is made from stainless steel. Thanks to its high-gloss polished surface, dirt and soil do not stick to the spade blade. The shape of the blade is crucial for its intended use and depends on the soil conditions. The BRITTA spade, in the classic gardener's shape, is an all-rounder suitable for working in moderately firm and slightly stony soils. This spade is perfect for digging planting holes, separating beds, or loosening and moving soil. The slightly rounded blade shape allows for easy penetration into the ground—provided it is not too stony.

The blade made of stainless steel is specially hardened, making it both hard and elastic. The very low-maintenance, high-gloss polished surface prevents dirt and soil from sticking and is corrosion-resistant. The handle is riveted to the spring and is firmly connected to the blade. The high-quality ash wood handle absorbs shocks and offers high elasticity and toughness. The classic T-handle ensures secure tool guidance and easy handling with optimized power transmission. The environmentally friendly water-based coating on the handle protects against dirt, moisture, and fungal infestation, increasing the spade's lifespan. Slight curves at the handle joint create a form-fitting connection to the spade blade.
