I personally would this spade from Gardena always buy again, because it significantly more stable in my view, is as for example the Fiskars, also the appearance is much broader and is additionally provided with plastic to prevent slipping. In my opinion, the guys from Gardena would not have the spade plate painting, because it is anyway rustproof and also keeps the paint not even a day when one about 40 square meters of topsoil with rocks and sod ner digs on top ;-) For Skepiker: if the color is first off, it can be put to the ground with even less friction ...
