Purchased this item as I was damaging my boots using a conventional spade. The Black Ada is very easy to use and the wide foot bars are an excellent addition. The spade itself cuts through soil easily and leaves a neat hole. The only slight criticism is the stainless steel handle when wet is slippery, I will probably add plastic tape or a rubber grip to improve things. Personally I don't find it heavy to carry, overall very pleased with my purchase.

Just used my Gladius stainless for the first time, absolutely love it, I'm a skinny individual who sometimes struggles digging with a conventional spade, however this is something completely different, give it a tap into the ground and then use the stirrups by standing on them, can't think why this hasn't been done before! Well done Black Ada.

Bomb proof, last a life time I believe. I would make a ( in my opinion ) a slight modification. At the rear of the spade, I’d weld a flat bar between the top of the spade head and the foot plate . Lifting the soil out of the hole with your boot is quite awkward with a round stem, the flat bar would make it perfect

I am extremely pleased with this product, it gives me the ability to dig much smaller neater plugs than my old border spade did. The footpegs are just right and the T-bar handle feels comfortable.
