Fiskars Solid Rounded Spade
The Fiskars Solid Rounded Spade is a sturdy garden digging tool designed for working in soft, relatively stone-free soil. Its rounded steel blade helps penetrate the ground, making the spade suitable for general digging and soil preparation. A long handle and D-shaped grip provide leverage and a secure handhold while working.
Blade and digging performance
The spade has a rounded blade made of steel, with a working width of approximately 18 cm. Its shape is suited to entering softer ground and turning soil during routine gardening tasks. The blade is also described as having a rolled or reinforced upper edge, which provides a firm area for the foot when pressing the spade into the ground.
Designed for soft soils with few stones, the rounded blade can be used for tasks such as opening planting holes, loosening and turning soil, and general garden digging. The steel construction gives the working end the strength needed for repeated contact with soil.
Handle and grip
The spade measures approximately 116.6 cm in overall length, commonly rounded to 117 cm. Its long handle supports a more upright working position and gives the user leverage when digging. The handle is described as plastic in some product specifications, while other naming variants refer to a metal-handled version; the defining product configuration is a steel blade paired with a dark handle and orange-accented grip.
A D-shaped handle provides a broad grip for two-handed control. The shape helps the user hold and guide the tool while pushing the blade into the ground, lifting soil, or repositioning the spade between digging movements.
