Description
Overview:
The SDS Max Clay Spade is a heavy-duty digging and breaking accessory for SDS Max rotary hammer drills with a roto-stop (chisel-only) function. Made from high-grade alloy steel, it provides the strength and wear resistance needed for tough ground conditions. The 115 mm wide blade (approx. 4.5 in) offers efficient coverage, while the 450 mm overall length (approx. 17.7 in) gives useful reach and leverage in trenches and excavations. It fits any standard SDS Max tool holder for quick, secure fitting without adapters. Typical compatible machines include popular SDS‐Max hammers such as the Bosch GBH 8-45 DV and the Makita HR4013C. Supplied under MPN 914985, this robust spade is suitable for both trade and DIY users who need dependable performance in soil, clay, and compacted ground.
