Designed with safety in mind, featuring a high-voltage insulated barrel and non-sparking components. The rugged UTILITY AIR-SPADE provides the highest degree of protection when working around underground electric, gas and other utility lines.

Its light weight minimizes operator fatigue and its air jet replaces the normal manual force needed to excavate in tight spots. It is especially valuable when used with a vacuum excavator.

The Air-Spade is great for...
  • Installing Flex-Kit Keyhole Encapsulation.
  • Prepping ALH System-Four tapping work.
  • Exposing a pipe joint for an Anabond Anaerobic Seal.
  • Roadwork utility locating.
