The company was founded in the City of Sheffield, which is famous for the production of steel, cutlery and hand tools and continues to be our home over 250 years later. The growth of gardens as an β€˜outdoor room’ has led to a huge increase in interest and demand for landscaping products for both professional and domestic use. We have responded to this increase in interest by introducing a number of new lines to complement our existing range, ensuring that the appropriate tool is always available to suit the job in hand. Review: Decent micro shovel - With it's non-rotting, as wood does, fibreglass shaft and proper quality steel used on the tang and blade and the almost ubiquitous heavy duty plastic handle this is a great little bit of kit and should deal with most situations with ease. Fortunately it is available as a spade or shovel which is good to have that choice. For extra ease of use you may want to sharpen up the edge a little as the shovel head is of a decently thick steel (Spear and Jackson, so is as you'd expect), almost 3mm but haven't measured it to be precise, so if you think you will encounter the odd concealed root or have heavier clay like soil then having a sharpened edge will help tackle the job without too much wrist attack. If you intend to use just to clear snow or similar light duty job (snow = shovel, dirt = spade) then you can use as is, no problem. *Notably, if you do sharpen the blade edge it will most likely remove the coating that has been factory applied to the steel and so expect early onset of oxidation if you do so. The fibreglass shaft is nice and sturdy, all 10/12" of it, and will put up with most if not all jobs expected of a micro-shovel but being fibreglass I, personally, wouldn't expect it to put up with the absolute heaviest of tasks such as a professional-grade site shovel can do when in *continual use (* all day every day which is a different situ than to likely be expected here with the vast majority of people) which tend to be full welded steel throughout but keeping in mind that this is a micro-shovel, not a JCB, and so it will do very well in it's specified tasking. If there is to be an area that may fail then I'm guessing the semi-ubiquitious plastic handle may fail. On other brand spades/fork's this can often be the achilles heel, the sides of the plastic handle can snap suddenly so am hoping this doesn't happen. All-in-all so far a nice little piece of kit that works well within it's design brief and also is compact and light enough to go camping if you choose to. Bargain. Review: A gardener's must have - Why have I waited so long to buy one of these? This is the best border spade I have ever bought. It's short handle allows you to dig holes in an already packed border without squashing other plants when tilted down towards the ground. The heavy pointed spade head cuts into the ground with ease. It's strong but not overly heavy. Great price and such a useful piece of kit. ## Features - Ideal for use in confined spaces or restrictive areas such as excavations and ditches - Tough fiberglass shaft - High quality carbon steel blade 8 ΒΌ" (210mm) x 6 ΒΌ" (160mm) - Clear polyester powder coat varnish helps protect against rusting - Ergonomic hilt with a soft feel grip for comfortable use - Overall Length: 710mm (28") - Blade Size: 210mm (8¼”) x 160mm (6¼”) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00AHXYEMK | | Best Sellers Rank | 8,250 in Garden ( See Top 100 in Garden ) 13 in Gardening Shovels | | Blade Material | Carbon Steel | | Brand | Spear & Jackson | | Brand Name | Spear & Jackson | | Colour | Blue | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,786 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05012095078814 | | Grip Type | Ergonomic | | Handle Material | Fibreglass | | Is Foldable | No | | Item Dimensions | 68 x 16.5 x 5 centimetres | | Item Type Name | Micro Shovel | | Item Weight | 1.15 Kilograms | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 68 x 16.5 x 5 centimetres | | Item weight | 1.15 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Spear & Jackson | | Manufacturer Part Number | MICROSQUARE | | Material | Carbon Steel , Fibreglass | | Material Type | Carbon Steel, Fibreglass | | Model Number | MICROSQUARE | | Style | Square Mouth | | Style Name | Square Mouth | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Material:** Carbon Steel, Fibreglass - **Colour:** Blue - **Brand:** Spear & Jackson - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 68 x 16.5 x 5 centimetres - **Item weight:** 1.15 kg - **Style:** Square Mouth - **Handle material:** Fibreglass - **Blade material:** Carbon Steel - **Is foldable:** No - **Grip type:** Ergonomic ## Images ![Spear & Jackson MICROSQUARE Square Mouth Micro Shovel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61DCHh0pMPL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Decent micro shovel *by G***S on 4 January 2022* With it's non-rotting, as wood does, fibreglass shaft and proper quality steel used on the tang and blade and the almost ubiquitous heavy duty plastic handle this is a great little bit of kit and should deal with most situations with ease.

Great price and such a useful piece of kit. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Can you dig it. *by S***1 on 27 May 2026* A quality product, it is small as many have commented, but is ideal for flower beds, especially if you want to kneel whilst digging. The price is especially good. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ni/products/52906748-spear-and-jackson-microsquare-square-mouth-micro-shovel](https://www.desertcart.ni/products/52906748-spear-and-jackson-microsquare-square-mouth-micro-shovel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Nicaragua* *Store origin: NI* *Last updated: 2026-07-24*
