High Tech Engineering. Traditional Quality.After eons of modest evolution, somebody finally got around to redesigning
the humble spade and fork. The result? Something quite unexpected.
Blending
over 200 years of Spear & Jackson's hard won experience with today’s
state-of-the-art studies in human factors has yielded the Proactive line of
tools. Keeping its time tested forged steel blade with its trademark solid socket
design [that’s the high collard shaft that connects the head more securely
to the shaft] as well as favoring the traditional hardwood shaft, however, from
the neck up, it's a new machine. Most notably is its shock absorbing attachment
to the grip which diffuses impact energy from hard surfaces and stony soils
preventing them from translating into jarring injuries and fatigue.
Additionally,
the wider bell-shaped "Y" handle allows room for a hand on each side
of the yoke to provide for two-handed digging, root bashing and prying. The
grip itself is a composite material to prevent slippage and the forward tilting
design provides more leverage for additional prying power.
Additional Features:
- Head and socket are solid forged from a single piece of steel for extra strength
- Hammer finished epoxy coated head for improved resistance to rust, scratches, humidity and alkaline in the soil.
- Treaded foot pad for more comfortable, no-slip digging
Options:
- Spear & Jackson Proactive Digging Fork & Spade- Same 28” shaft as
the Border Fork & Spade but has a larger blade size [7”x11”] making it ideal
for bigger jobs and stronger users.
- Spear & Jackson Proactive Border Fork & Spade- Same 28” but has
a smaller, lighter blade size [6”x9”] making it perfect for lighter gardening
work.
