## Questions & Answers

**Q: is the spade lightweight**
A: I have just checked spade and it's the same weight as my standard digging spade.I have to say I have to dig from a wheelchair so I have to shove the spade in the ground because my legs won't do this. Good strong border spade.

**Q: the size of the blade is it 138mm broad**
A: Yes the blade is 138 wide

**Q: A mention in the reviews of the blade welded to the shaft this surely a weak point**
A: Yes, it is a weak point. 

Mine has just broken at this point after 10 years excellent service. 

I am just about to order another one as they are so good. Just hope its another 10 years before it breaks.

BTW it broke as i had all my weight on it trying to lever up some stubborn fern roots.

**Q: Do these have a rubber shaft?**
A: No, excellent for use on my allotment
