Do you want to know more? Our spades in detail
If you want to know all details, we'll be happy to share our expertise with you and explain the influence of the spades blade shape and exactly how our product lines differ. You will see how the components of your spade – from the tread to the shaft and up to the handle – affect its intended use and its handling.
Spade blade shapes
First and foremost, the blade shape of a spade depends on the soil conditions. Is the soil more sandy or loamy? Is the soil dry or moist - loose or firm? What blade shape is recommended for very stony soil? Learn more ...
Product lines
Our product lines give you a reliable guide to our entire range. Here you will find both the technical specifications of our spades and an overview of the processing and the materials used.
Shaft types
Sure, the shaft is where you guide your spade. But did you already know that the type of wood from which it is made can make your tool up to 30 percent more resilient? Or that different handles allow you to transfer more force to the blade or simplify turning and prying motions? Here we explain all the details.
Shaft attachments
The shafts attachment is a very important element in a spade. There are various fastening techniques, that depend on the type of spade and the intended use.
Surface finish
The surface finish of the spade blade not only ensures an attractive appearance, but also influences service life and tool properties. Here you will find all relevant information.
Tread
A tread enlarges the contact surface of your spade. On the one hand, this protects against unintentional slipping and, on the other hand, supports the moment of force. Here you can find out which variants we offer and what their advantages are.
IDEALSPATEN: Tools Made in Germany
Since 1929, we have had our most important tool in our company name. For at least as long, our products have stood for the unique quality and durability that only tools made with expertise and passion for their own craft can offer.
That's why we have always manufactured our spades in our factory in Herdecke, and why we, for example, offer you our spade blades conically rolled – a sign of our years of experience and true craftsmanship, because you will hardly find these self-sharpening blades anywhere else.
For us, the name IDEALSPATEN is a commitment – to our home country, our products and, above all, to you, our customers. We create tools that last for generations. For everyone who works with the same enthusiasm as we do.
