Overview
Not a full-length garden shovel, this Fiskars auto spade is a pointed all-purpose spade sized for a car trunk. It has a sharpened pointed cutting edge and an ergonomic grip, in a Finnish design.
The reason to buy is carrying a spade where a full-length one will not fit, for digging year-round. The grip works with winter gloves. The limitation is leverage, since the short shaft limits how much force you apply.
Who it's for
Drivers, campers and gardeners who want a pointed digging tool in the car for various tasks in all seasons will use it often. People digging deep or large areas, who want a full-size spade, should buy a standard one.
Pros and cons
- Light weight to carry
- Sharpened pointed edge
- Grip works with winter gloves
- Short shaft limits leverage
- Not suited to large digging jobs
- Material listing is inconsistent
- Warranty not stated
Performance notes
The sharpened pointed edge pierces ground and cuts into soil with little effort, which suits a short tool. A shorter shaft gives less leverage than a long spade, so effort rises in hard soil. The ergonomic grip is designed to work with winter gloves.
