Product Description
Milwaukee SDS Max 4-1/4 in. x 16 in. Clay Spade
Model Number: 48-62-4094
The Milwaukee 48-62-4094 is an SDS Max Clay Spade with a 4-1/4 in. wide blade in 16 in. overall length — a large-format ground engagement attachment for Milwaukee SDS Max demolition hammers used for clay digging, earth moving, root cutting, and soil breaking in landscape, utility, and general excavation applications where the spade blade's penetrating flat profile can be driven into clay and compacted soil by the demolition hammer's impact energy to loosen and break it up for removal. Clay is one of the most difficult manual digging materials — it is dense, cohesive, and resistant to shovel penetration at depths where picks and manual chisels are impractical. The Milwaukee SDS Max clay spade converts the demolition hammer's high-frequency mechanical impact into productive clay and soil penetration at a rate that dramatically exceeds what manual digging tools can achieve in the same material conditions, particularly in compact, dry clay where each shovel attempt requires significant force.
The 4-1/4 in. wide blade is sized for productive soil coverage per impact while remaining manageable for the controlled penetration work of trenching, planting bed preparation, and root cutting that characterize clay spade applications. Milwaukee drop-forges this tool from high-grade steel with heat-treated working areas for the structural integrity needed to withstand sustained SDS Max impact loading in soil and clay without blade bending or deformation from the lateral soil reaction forces encountered during digging work. The 16 in. overall length provides the blade reach and shank geometry needed for the SDS Max hammer's correct working position relative to the ground surface during downward impact spade work. The SDS Max shank provides positive anti-rotation locking in the hammer's tool holder for controlled digging direction throughout the excavation work.
