Ingersoll Rand 50189596 5 - 1/2" Clay Spade | 16" Under Collar Length | 7/8" x 3 - 1/4" Hex Shank

For excavation work that involves opening and shaping trenches in clay soil, the Ingersoll Rand 50189596 Clay Spade provides a broad cutting profile for compatible pneumatic pavement breakers and diggers. This construction steel attachment features a 5-1/2-inch blade width, 16-inch length under the collar, and 7/8" x 3-1/4" hex shank. Its spade-shaped working end is intended for trench digging and trimming, helping operators loosen and shape soil with repeated impact blows. The specified hex shank and retaining collar are important fitment details when selecting a replacement steel for an existing pneumatic tool.

The Ingersoll Rand 50189596 is part of the manufacturer's pavement breaker and digger steels range, which includes clay spades, digging chisels, asphalt cutters, and demolition points for different ground-working tasks. The clay spade's wide cutting edge is intended for soil excavation rather than concentrated concrete breaking. With a catalog weight of 7 lbs and a manufacturer box quantity of 5, this model offers a clearly identified attachment for contractors and municipal maintenance crews replacing worn digging steels. Its 7/8-inch hex configuration is the smallest shank option in the manufacturer's four-model 5-1/2-inch clay spade selection.

FAQs:

• Q: What is the Ingersoll Rand 50189596 clay spade designed to do? A: It is a 5-1/2-inch clay spade intended for trench digging and trimming. Its broad blade is suited to working soil rather than performing the same function as a pointed demolition steel or narrow digging chisel.
• Q: What does 16 inches under the collar mean? A: This measurement identifies the length of the steel below its retaining collar. It is not the same as the overall attachment length, which includes the shank and collar area.
• Q: Will the 50189596 fit any pneumatic pavement breaker? A: No. The receiving tool must accept a 7/8-inch by 3-1/4-inch hex shank with the appropriate collar and retainer arrangement. Confirm compatibility against the tool's operating manual before ordering.
• Q: Is the clay spade sold individually or in a box of five? A: The Ingersoll Rand catalog lists a box quantity of five, but this is a manufacturer packaging specification. Confirm the website's actual selling unit and order quantity before purchasing.
• Q: How is this model different from the 50189554 clay spade? A: Both have a 5-1/2-inch blade and 16-inch under-collar length. The 50189596 uses a 7/8-inch by 3-1/4-inch hex shank and weighs 7 lbs, while the 50189554 uses a 1-inch by 4-1/4-inch hex shank and weighs 7.25 lbs.
