Overview
A long hardwood handle and a narrow alloy steel blade make up the Jackson Pony drain spade. The slim profile lets it dig narrow trenches and clean out ditches that a wide spade cannot enter.
The reason to own it is the shape: a narrow blade on a long handle for digging deep, tight cuts. It also transplants live trees and shrubs, according to the seller. The limitation is the plain wood grip, which gives less hand room than a D-grip model.
Who it's for
Landscapers and homeowners who dig drainage lines, clear ditches or lift trees and shrubs for transplanting will use the slim blade well. Buyers who want a wide scoop for bulk soil, or a short D-grip handle, should choose a different spade.
Pros and cons
- Narrow blade fits tight trenches
- Long handle reaches deep
- Alloy steel blade
- Also suits transplanting trees and shrubs
- Wood grip, no D-grip handle
- Narrow blade moves little soil
- Warranty terms not stated
- Blade width not given separately
Performance notes
A narrow blade concentrates the force of each push into a small footprint, so it cuts into soil and roots for a tight trench. The long handle adds leverage for working down into the ground. Hardwood is the handle and grip material, and the alloy steel blade does the cutting.
