The stands in the front garden shed.

The thing is quasi by itself :-)
Joking aside, the spade is slightly heavier than a wooden spade.
from handling her he is somewhere between shovel and spade.

One can thus consequently shovel and dig. A real all-purpose weapon.

Shoveling:
For 10m³ sand of course, the shovel (Special tool) better.
Also for example, chalky gravel, lean concrete, etc. to move the Garden Spade is unbeatable.
Etc. When lean concrete the tip and the, compared to a smaller shovel blade, the shape and the handle, a blessing. One can go to work with a lot of momentum.

Graben:
While digging the Garden Spade is a revelation. When Traditional wooden spade with t-handle is used to mean one of Fiskars comes from alone. Gigantic.
Furthermore, the spade seems to be indestructible. I have so some excavated on rocks that can then had to put a couple on the wheelbarrow. You can use it to pry pretty good. On wooden spades, I would certainly have again two worn in the actions.

Working in trenches:
As soon as it comes but, in confined spaces, for example to work in a cable trench, Spaten is the first choice. Here you need a spade and quasi abwechelnd a shovel. The gardener spade can do both and is very handy.

Conclusion:
If you do not want to carry around a zoo to specialized equipment for shoveling and digging, the gardener Spade is the right choice.
The stands in the front garden shed. Everything what comes next, I think about when I again must shovel 10m³ sand. Otherwise I take without a second thought to Garden Spade.
