Drain & Transplanting Spades with D Grips

This transplanting spade combines a wooden shaft, red upper D-grip and long black blade. The narrow blade format provides a clear comparison point for buyers selecting tools for planting-area and drainage work.

Review the blade profile and grip style alongside the straight-handle and T-handle spades in this collection. Request model-specific blade dimensions and total length, rather than using the photograph as a size guide.

This drain-spade layout combines a D grip with a long, round-bottomed blade and two rolled foot treads. The treads are separate visible features at the upper corners of the narrow blade.

A curved, offset neck connects the D-grip shaft to a long round-bottomed drain-spade blade. Its side profile differs from the straight-neck models and the blade has a plain working edge.

Short longitudinal flutes mark the rounded tip of this narrow drain-spade blade. A fiberglass D-handle shaft meets the carbon steel head through an offset neck, with an overall size of 110 × 18 cm.

Compare the fluted lower edge with a smooth-ended drain spade for trench and planting-hole work. The long blade and D grip provide a different working layout from a pointed tree-planting spade.

This carbon steel drain spade combines a narrow rounded toothed mouth with a straight extended socket. The contoured D-grip construction measures 128 cm overall.

Compare its 128 cm reach and straight neck with a shorter offset-neck drain spade. The closed upper grip provides a different hand position from an open straight-pole handle.

One serrated side and one plain side border the narrow curved steel blade of this drain spade. The 11 × 5 1/2-inch head has a rounded cutting mouth beneath a 27-inch D handle, with a 38-inch overall length.

Compare the single serrated side with a smooth drain blade or a double-sided root-cutting head. Its rounded plain mouth differs from a deep notched or pointed planting blade.

This transplanting spade uses a pointed blade with serrations on both long sides to cut through soil and fine roots. A tubular D grip and integrated foot ledge support controlled digging between established plants.

The double-serrated head offers cutting edges on either side when working around a root ball. Its narrow central crease and pointed tip suit precise soil entry where a broad digging blade would disturb more ground.
