Treeplanting Shovel Builder

Pick a handle and a blade to add a complete shovel to your shopping cart. The weight, length and price for your shovel will show at the bottom of the page. If you aren't sure which handles or blades are right for you, check the popular treeplanting shovels section. Use the "treeplanting shovel partz section to purchase individual shovel parts.

The handle size corresponds to it's useable length. The blades length is different from the blade & socket length. Unless it is otherwise stated, the socket is 9" / 23cm. To get your overall shovel length (from top of grip to blade tip), add the handle length, blade length, and socket length.

We offer 4 handle choices, with shaft lengths ranging between (including handle) 7 inches to 19 inches, except our Staff Handle which is 27 inches. All handles are interchangeable or compatible with all blades. Unless you get a Staff, your handle shaft length is probably the most important consideration when choosing this component.
To figure out what length of handle you need, you may need to know what the "overall" length of the blade is. These "specs" are found at the bottom of each blades desciption.

12.5" / 32cm Asymmetric Blade (R) Kicker You are viewing the  redesigned 12" Asymmetric (one kicker) Blade. This blade was design to plant very specific tree stock types, which are much larger than the average.  It also has many improved features, and though it has good looks, it is what's inside that counts. It is made from a very tough "Carbon Steel" alloy that is hardened to 40C<47C on the Rockwell Scale. At this hardness, the blade could outlast the average planters career.  The advantages to having a single kicker are; fewer irritating slash and or root hang-ups; the one kicker has twice the surface area for stomping on, and will prevent wearing holes in your expensive boots.  RIGHT KICKER ON (Front Side View) Specs Blade&Socket Length: 55.3cm / 21.75" Blade Length: 32cm / 12.5" Blade Width: 14cm x 10.2cm / 5.5"x 4" Weight: 1350g / 2.97lbs   Price : $50.00
