The Relton Clay Spade is a specialized digging tool designed for heavy-duty excavation in dense, compacted, and rocky soils, particularly clay. It is commonly used in construction, demolition, and utility work where precise and efficient ground penetration is required. The spade is designed for use with jackhammers and other pneumatic or electric hammer tools, making it an essential attachment for breaking through stubborn ground conditions.
- Design: Features a broad, flat, and slightly curved blade optimized for cutting through clay and compacted earth while minimizing resistance. The edges of the spade are hardened to maintain durability and sharpness during extended use. It is designed to fit standard jackhammer or demolition hammer shanks, ensuring a secure and stable connection for high-impact digging.
- Applications:
- Excavation & Trenching: Ideal for digging trenches in clay-heavy or compacted soil conditions for plumbing, electrical, and foundation work.
- Demolition Work: Used for breaking up packed earth in demolition sites.
- Landscaping & Construction: Suitable for removing soil during landscaping projects or construction site preparation.
- Utility Maintenance: Helps in the removal of compacted dirt around pipelines, underground cables, and sewer systems.
- Materials:High-Grade Alloy Steel: Ensures strength and resistance to wear under repeated high-impact use.Heat-Treated Steel: Provides additional hardness and durability, preventing bending or breaking.Corrosion-Resistant Coating: Some versions may include anti-corrosion treatments to withstand harsh environmental conditions.
- Configuration:SDS-max shank, 4-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ x 15-1/2″
