DeWit Dutch Digging Spade, Lightweight Garden Tool

Just right if working in a kneeling position. T handle gives you power and squarish blade is great for planting perennials from pots.

What can I say another great garden tool for digging up small holes for a 1 gallon plant.Easy on the hands, sturdy, very ergonomic.Give it a try you won’t be sorry.

I purchased this tool to uproot and split some massive hosta in my yard. Hosta can be tough to dig up. My old perennial divider wasn’t doing the work and was even bending.I liked what I saw on Amazon about this tool and had the opportunity to used this past weekend. It work like a charm. It cut through the dense root ball with no problem.I’ll look forward to redoing my elite garden with this tool.

This tool is on a level above what you can get at the home-center the big-box home stores just don't offer these. Yes its 3X expensive but you'll never bend it and you'll never need another (unless someone steals yours). The blade is much thicker than the home-center variety and of high quality steel. The blade is so thick it can't be stamped it must be forged (I've seen you interweb videos of the manufacturer actually making these). It sharpens to razor sharp with a single-cut file (which I recommend don't use a double-cut file or you'll take off too much steel and it won't be as sharp). It cuts through tough Texas colichi like a hot knife through butter (I just have to groan when I think of all those years struggling to stab thin home-center shovels through hardened gumbo mud). I used this shovel to effortlessly dig many 24" wide by 24" deep holes in dry sod in a couple of minutes each instead of the 30 mins per hole that it used to take (accompanied by back, neck and shoulder pain). It would be nice if the manufacturer made these in a bigger size but then it might be too heavy. I'm not complaining. I highly recommend this tool and I, myself will be using it (and them they have many tools to choose from) from now on. Wish I had started using them years ago.

This spade is expensive but worth every penny. The craftsmanship is outstanding. It truly is hand crafted and made to last generations. You will be looking for excuses to use it! I bought it because I needed a small garden spade to use on a cemetery bed, and splurged because it was the size and shape I needed. I am so glad I did, even if I rarely use it, because it reminds you that fine craftsmanship is still available.

So this may not be a bulldog spade but the bulldogs for purchase in the US do not feature the T handle. This one does. I absolutely love this thing. It is totally worth the money. Buy it and if you get it home you don’t like it you can always return it but I don’t think you will. I also purchased the larger square shaped hand trowel and it is also fantastic. I am over buying inferior products and now that I have found Dewitt forged tools that’s it for me

This spade makes a nice addition to my garden tool kit. Small, sturdy, and good in tight spots.

Nice high quality shovel, but I was misled by the name "long handled". I don't consider this a long handle by any means! For the price, I definitely think is absurdly high for what it is, despite it being a quality shovel that will probably outlast a generation or two.
