First, the teeth: 28 razor sharp cutting teeth run the blade edges, so root mats that stop a smooth spade get sawed, not fought. Second, the taper: the blade narrows from 4.25 in (10.8 cm) to 3.75 in (9.5 cm), which is what cuts a clean, easy plug instead of a crater, the difference between keeping a permission and losing it. Third, the T-handle: a 5.5 in (14 cm) crossbar gives you twist leverage to break plugs free in one motion, and its end caps are capped for a reason, to keep soil out of the tube. The foot peg is wider than typical for the class, so a boot drive goes into the ground instead of into your arch. At 36 in (91 cm) total it is the standing-height middle ground: longer reach than a hand digger, faster in hand than a full-size spade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecs and what they mean in the dirt\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"8\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;font-size:13px;margin:18px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width:44%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeat treated tempered steel, powder coated gun metal gray\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEdge retention and rust resistance for season after season\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e28 razor sharp teeth on the blade edges\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSaws through roots instead of tearing turf\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade 9.5 in (24 cm), 4.25 in (10.8 cm) tapering to 3.75 in (9.5 cm)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDeep, narrow plugs that close clean on lawns and parks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eT-handle 5.5 in (14 cm) with end caps\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwist leverage to pop plugs; caps keep soil out of the handle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWide non-slip foot peg\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull boot drive in compacted ground without foot fatigue\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e36 in (91 cm) total, 3.4 lb (1.54 kg)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStanding dig height at a carry-all-day weight, manufacturer verified\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHonest limits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeat treated steel holds an edge because it is hard, and hard steel does not want to be a pry bar.
