My only issue... the border spade has the handle grip attached "off-center". This could compromise it's sturdiness over time. I returned and sent for another and the second had the same issue. Seems like a factory issue with a whole batch.

It does not seem to me that selling a rusty tool coated with handsome stainless steel is a good or honest practice.

Yup, good small spade for those who need to dig in confined spaces and also those of us who are not as strong and agile as we once were!
