Razor-back 48110 Post Spade Square Steel 16x6.5 in

Product Description

The RAZOR-BACK 48110 is a square-blade post spade built for digging narrow, straight-walled holes and trenches in compacted soil. The 16-inch steel blade features a front-turned step for foot pressure during hard-ground penetration, and the open back design sheds soil cleanly on removal. A 29-inch wood D-grip handle gives the user close control and two-handed leverage in tight quarters. At 5 pounds, the tool balances digging force with manageable swing weight for extended fieldwork. Landscapers, utility contractors, irrigation installers, and fencing crews are the primary users of this tool.

This spade is suited for post-hole preparation, root cutting, edging, and narrow trench work in residential and commercial landscaping, irrigation, and light construction applications. The square blade profile produces clean vertical cuts, making it especially useful when setting fence posts, sign posts, or utility markers where a defined hole perimeter is required. The D-grip handle keeps hands clear of the ground and allows controlled downward force in confined spaces.

Installation Notes

No power source or utility shutoff is required for hand tool use. Inspect the handle for cracks or looseness before each use, and ensure the blade-to-handle connection is tight. Wear appropriate PPE including steel-toed footwear when applying foot pressure to the step. Call 811 before digging to identify buried utilities in the work area.
