Torque Spade

 spade + torque wrench = Torque Spade

My mother-in-law is strong. She is so strong that she already broke 3rd spade this year alone, including a good old forged one.

Here comes the Torque Spade:

I suggest a safety mechanism for spades, that only allow certain torque on the spade. If the preset torque is exceeded, the handle is released from the metal blade and the spade is saved.

       Good idea if you have crappy spades. The one I use is over 90 years old (Sheffield steel) and I’ll defy anyone to break it. Have this crumb for your efforts regardless. [+]

       Good idea though.

       [xen] challenge accepted, bring it here and I will break it for you.   

       [+] for the idea. Better if it has a dial strain gauge, best of all if it can incorporate a paper-trace reel to draw a graph of strain against time.

       I would buy one that did, [pocmloc], but that feature would probably only be available via bluetooth.

       Will there be some way of getting the blade out of the ground? It will be firmly stuck, for sure.
