Drain Spade 1180mm Steel Narrow Blade Trenching YD Handle

A drain spade with a long 1180mm design and narrow steel blade, made for digging where a standard shovel is too wide. The slim profile helps when cutting neat channels for drainage work, edging into narrow trenches, or opening out post holes with better control.

Used for garden drainage jobs, groundwork, fencing, landscaping and general outdoor maintenance, this type of spade suits both trade and home use. The narrow blade is helpful when you need to remove less soil at a time, especially in tighter runs where accuracy matters more than shifting a wide load. It is also useful for cleaning out existing channels, forming straight trench lines, and working around areas where a broader digging spade would be awkward.

The all-metal construction gives the tool a solid feel for repeated digging tasks, while the plastic YD handle provides a more secure grip when pushing down and lifting soil. At 1180mm long, it gives good reach for deeper or awkward digging without feeling overly bulky in use. The narrow blade shape is practical for controlled cuts and tidier trench work, and it helps keep the digging area more precise when working on drains, cable runs or post positions. For regular outdoor jobs, it is a straightforward option when a standard garden spade is simply too wide for the task.
