My favorite clay spade, plenty long for deep holes, sharp edge, wide enough for fast work, just enough curve to scoop while leaving a pretty flat surface, great for foundation trenching where you want a clean square trench. Very good value for the price. I prefer it to other 50+$ spoon shaped clay bits any day of the week. It's also versitile and can pop up tiles and is good for making an accurate flat grade when digging plumbing trenches. So far has proven durable and has kept a sharp edge for it's intended use. I couldn't ask for more out of a clay spade.
