Hey folks,
I am sharing the video of the Russian miracle-spade at work:

With this heavy duty garden tool you can work 3 times faster and easier than with a usual spade. Great for digging and loosening virgin and clay soils.
A gift for craftmasters, please watch to the end: I added close-up view of the tool with all dimentions.

Hey folks, Would you like to work 5 times faster and get tired less, compared to working with a usual spade? Look for miracle-spade or super-spade here: https://ecominded.net/garden-tools Due to the system of levers and two opposite forks, passing one through the other, it loosen the topsoil without turning it over, by efforts of your hands only, your back is not in tension. Please watch the video for details:    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWFtEcpSIlg

Hi Yuri - why do you call it a spade? It looks like a fork to me.

Hi Edward, yes of course it looks like a fork. It is just direct translation of how it is called in russia. :)

Hello, I bought the "super spade" fork but don't see instructions on making a handle. I grabbed a 2*2 I had sitting around and whittled it down to fit, but it snapped off the first time I tried using it. It feels like pine - will a traditional hard wood handle work or will I need a metal pipe?

In Russia we use round-shaped handle for usual spade, 40 mm diameter, 120 cm length, pine wood. It is strong and hard enough for super spade.
