Sam’s Spades

If you're a Kiwi fencer, farmer, or gardener tackling New Zealand's rugged terrain, having the right tools can make all the difference. Enter Sam’s Spades—crafted by Waikato fencing contractor and sheep & beef farmer Sam Kneebone, known for his practical fencing advice on social media as @justanotherfencer. These spades are designed to withstand the toughest conditions and make your job easier.

Built for Tough Jobs

Sam’s Spades are engineered with high tensile, pressed welded steel heads and long, heavy-duty steel shafts, providing exceptional strength and leverage. Whether you're digging in rocky soil or heavy clay, these spades are up to the task.

You can choose between two handle styles: the traditional 'T' handle or the 'round point' handle, depending on your preference.

Why Choose Sam’s Spades?

Sam Kneebone puts it best:

"I’ve dug enough holes and broken enough spades to know how important it is to have one that won’t let you down. It needs to handle the tough NZ landscape, make the job more enjoyable—and save your back while you're at it."

These spades are 100% New Zealand engineered and made, ensuring quality and durability.
