Spear & Jackson Workhorse No.2 Square Mouth Shovel

The Spear & Jackson Workhorse No.2 Square Mouth Shovel is a serious tool for serious digging. The head and socket are solid forged from a single piece of heat-treated carbon steel, giving you a tool that can handle tough ground, heavy loads, and years of regular use without letting you down. It's the kind of build quality you'd expect from a brand with over 250 years of tool-making heritage.

The tubular shaft is automatically rotatingly welded to the socket to ensure perfect alignment, which matters more than you might think. A well-aligned shovel reduces strain on your wrists and back, and keeps the tool performing consistently whether you're shifting soil, gravel, or compost. The powder-coated head also helps soil release cleanly from the blade, so you're not carrying unnecessary weight with every scoop.

If you're looking for a dependable square point shovel that won't bend, loosen, or wear out after a single season, this Spear & Jackson model is a practical long-term investment for any garden or allotment. Available on Amazon.
