12 Gauge Edging Spade
The Bully Tools 72500 is a 12 gauge edging and planting spade built for commercial grade durability. Its closed back design eliminates debris build-up during soil work. The 7.5 by 13 inch blade handles precise edging and planting tasks. A 28.5 inch American Ash D-grip handle provides leverage and control for professional landscapers and homeowners.
Thermals Noise and Power
As a manual yard tool, the spade produces no operational noise and draws zero power during use. Thermals are not a factor because there is no motor or battery to generate heat. The 14 gauge steel blade and closed back construction resist wear from repeated ground contact. Physical effort from the operator is the only energy input required.
D-Grip Handle and Ferrule
The American Ash D-grip handle and extended length ferrule change how force transfers from hand to blade. The D-grip shape allows multiple hand positions for comfort during long edging sessions. The longer ferrule reinforces the handle-to-blade joint against twisting loads. These features reduce fatigue and increase tool life compared to standard socket attachments.

Questions about this item
How do I attach the 28.5” ash handle to the 7.5”x13” blade on the 72500 spade, and what is the common mistake?
The handle slides into the extended ferrule and is secured with the factory rivet; the step people miss is seating the ferrule fully before tightening so the closed back stays aligned.
What part of the 12 ga. edging and planting spade will need replacement first with regular soil work?
The American Ash D-grip handle typically wears before the 14 gauge closed-back blade; expect to replace the handle after heavy seasonal use.
At what point does the 40” overall length become a limiting factor during sustained edging?
Leverage drops noticeably when cutting deeper than the 7.5” blade height, forcing a shallower angle that slows progress on compacted ground.
