Where are Spear & Jackson tools made?
The brand originated in the UK and maintains manufacturing there, though some products are now produced offshore. Regardless of where they're made, the tools are built to the same quality standards and designed for the demands of professional and serious DIY use.
What's the difference between a shovel and a spade?
A shovel typically has a curved or scooped blade designed for moving loose material like soil, gravel, or mulch. A spade has a flat, sharp-edged blade built for cutting through turf, edging beds, or digging precise holes. Both have their place on site – choose based on whether you're shifting material or cutting into the ground.
How do I maintain hand tools like trowels and shovels?
Keep tools clean and dry after each use to prevent rust and handle rot. Here's how to make them last:
Wipe blades down after working in wet or muddy conditions
Store in a dry spot – not left outside
Sharpen blades with a file when they start to dull
Check handles for cracks or looseness and tighten or replace as needed
A bit of linseed oil on timber handles keeps them from drying out and cracking over time.
