Gardena 17010-20 Drainage Shovel

The GARDENA Drainage shovel 17010-20 is a durable garden spade designed for digging, lifting and transferring soil in confined or demanding areas. Made of hardened quality steel with a black finish and an extra-sharp blade, it provides reliable penetration into the ground. The tool features an oval shaft that prevents unwanted twisting and an extended plastic coating for comfortable, non-slip handling. The product includes a wide ergonomically shaped D-handle for two-handed grip and an extra-large foot-rest with a special profile to transfer force efficiently. The total warranty period is 25 years.

Advantages

The shovel combines an extra-sharp hardened steel blade with an ergonomic oval shaft and a wide D-handle to reduce effort when digging. The extended plastic coating on the shaft ensures a smooth, non-slip grip, while the large profiled foot-rest enables firm pressure into the soil and lowers the risk of slipping. The robust construction and 25-year warranty indicate long service life.

How to use

Place the shovel blade where you want to dig and position one foot on the profiled foot-rest. Hold the extra-wide D-handle with both hands at a comfortable height and push the blade into the soil using body weight. Use a levering motion to lift and transfer loosened soil. For confined spaces, use short, controlled strokes to work precisely and avoid overexertion. After use, clean soil from the blade and dry before storage to help maintain the finish.

Recommendations

Use the shovel on suitable soil types and avoid levering against very hard or rocky ground to prevent blade damage. Wear appropriate footwear and gloves when applying force via the foot-rest and D-handle.
