The Spear & Jackson Contractors Tubular Steel Grafting Tool is designed for professionals engaged in rigorous groundwork, particularly in challenging heavy clay and stony soil conditions. Its primary benefit is exceptional durability and long-term dependability, ensuring it can withstand intensive use. A minor caveat is its specialized nature, making it best suited for professional applications rather than light-duty gardening. Key features include a solid forged carbon steel head, a robust tubular steel handle with rotary welding for enhanced strength, and a rust-resistant powder-coated finish.

This tool is engineered for rigorous groundwork in heavy clay and stony soil conditions, offering exceptional durability in demanding environments.
Passing the BS3388 Load Test verifies that the tool has been rigorously tested for strength and performance under specific load conditions, confirming its professional-grade quality and reliability.
Clean the tool with a damp cloth after use and dry it thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Store in a dry place. Minor scratches can be touched up with rust-inhibiting paint.
While durable, this tool is specifically engineered for rigorous groundwork and professional applications. For light-duty gardening, a lighter-weight tool might be more appropriate.
The head dimensions are 320 x 160mm (12 1/2" x 6 1/4"), and the handle dimensions are 711 x 31.75mm (28" x 1 1/4") including the socket.
Due to the rotary welding technique used for strength, handle replacement is generally not feasible. Professional repair might be an option for certain issues, but often replacement of the tool is required for significant damage.
Ensure the rotary welding is intact. If there is a visible gap or looseness, professional repair may be necessary or replacement considered if within warranty.
While the coating provides protection, minor chips are cosmetic. Clean the affected area and apply a rust-inhibiting primer and paint if concerned about corrosion. For significant damage, consider a professional recoating.
Ensure the blade edge is sharp. If significantly dull, it may require sharpening by a professional or with appropriate metal files. For extremely hard or stony soil, use a rocking motion to break up the ground before lifting.
This tool arrives ready for immediate use. Its compatibility is primarily with demanding groundwork, landscaping, and agricultural tasks. To ensure longevity and maintain performance:
