I'm using this spade with a Makita 70lbs. verical break hammer and the combination is just a monster. You really want to find clay or decomposed granite with the tool. I've been digging trenches for stackable block walls and this tool is a real time saver. Worth every penny. I bought the Bosch spade because I could not find the like Makita. Gets a little heavy but you get used to it.

This attachment really works well on the shale that used to take a lot of hard work to break through with a pick. My backhoe even has difficulty cutting through this stuff, but this clay spade cuts right through the hardest veins of shale with out much trouble.

This clay spade looks very substantial. I haven't had a chance to dig with it yet, but it looks like it will be up to the task. It fits very well into the chuck of my driving machine. When I'm ready, it's ready.

Having owned many spades in my life I can safely say this one is the greyest one that I've had. Usually I go for the green ones, but this one goes really well with my new Widescreen TV. Other than the colour being really nice I found the spade action on this baby really satisfying. Digging holes with this beauty really is a sensual experience. If your in any doubt buy it. Well I liked it.
