Air Spade

The AIR-SPADE® is a rugged and durable hand-held tool that produces a stream of supersonic air moving at Mach 2. The AIR-SPADE® effectively penetrates and dislodges most types of soil, but is harmless to non-porous objects such as plant roots, buried pipes, or cables.

  • Modular design with parts that screw together without tools 
  • Interchangeable nozzles sized to match air compressors from 15 to 250 scfm 
  • Interchangeable extensions to 2.4m and reducers to 600mm 
  • Ergonomic handle with thermal shield and pressure gauge 
  • Safety "dead man" trigger with guard 
  • Non conductive insulated barrel 
  • Hardened wear resistant non sparking stainless steel nozzle 
  • Proven to dig up to 50% faster than other air excavation equipment. 
  • Digs harder soils than competitive or home made wands 
  • Less worker fatigue / injuries than a pick or shovel (0 vibration) 
  • Faster and safer than hand digging 
  • Saves expensive hourly labor costs 
  • Non-damaging to all kinds of buried utilities or plant roots 
  • Digs without making mud and does not create "contaminated" spoil like water 
  • Excavated soil is ideal for recompaction
