Roughneck Drainage Shovel

This trench/post hole shovel is the business. Quality made, fibreglass handle, lightweight, sparpened shovel blade. Perfect for the task to dig around narrow areas such as fence posts etc. It good value compared to some other competitors, the long narrow sharpened shovel blade helps with the task and will last for years

A really good piece of kit that’s sharp, strong and very functional with many uses

Great spade at a great price. Just the right size for digging post holes…. Made the job so much easier.

Great bit of kit. Bought to dig post holessl, 600mm deep. Despite being manual bit of kit, was spn easy to be accurate and minimal effort. Also managed to get through some old concrete and rather large tree roots. Probably one of the best purchases I've had from amazon

Bought for wooden 75 x 75 fence post holes. 600mm deep x 300mm holes in clay brash with a few old leylandii roots. In short, this is a well designed and well made piece of kit and made a cruel job a lot easier.

Great for fencing, slices through roots and hard ground with ease

Good solid ‘sharp’ shovel’. This review is for the Roughneck 42’’ 68328 Drainage and Post hole shovel. No trouble digging 2+ foot deep holes… but use the right tools this Drainage/Post hole shovel which has a heavy, hard, sharpened blade) to cut through hard, stones, roots etc I bought a ‘Nielsen post hole digger’’ as well, as I knew the ground was full of roots and in an awkward area, the post hole tool mean you don’t have to be on your hands and knees getting the spoil out of the hole. The shovel is heavy enough and sharp enough to cut the fibrous roots, (up to about an inch across maybe a bit bigger) and will also chip away and loosen stones. And then the post hole digger to get the spoil out. This tool will be fine in nice soft, clear soil. But you would not use these to dig holes in heavily stony or rooty ground on their own. No trouble digging 2+ foot deep holes… with both tools but use the right tools this Drainage/Post hole shovel which has a heavy, hard, sharpened blade) to cut through hard, stones, roots etc I bought a ‘Roughneck Drainage/Posthole shovel’ as I knew the ground would be full of Cotswold stones and tree roots. The shovel is heavy enough and sharp enough to cut the fibrous roots, (up to about an inch across) and will also chip away and loosen stones. And then used the 2 handled post hole digger to get the spoil out. You will have to switch back to the shovel, to loosen the next bit of earth, and back to the post hole tool to get the spoil out. Alternating between the two tools as required. Depending on the ground and obstacles in it about 10-20 mins per 2 foot deep hole. Obviously, if you hit very large stones or anything ready solid, you will have to try other methods to smash it up. If the dirt is very dry/hard, try thouroghly wetting it the day before to soften it. It is hard work (your triceps and shoulders will know about it the next day) but satisfying :) But it would have been ‘much’ harder and less efficient without ‘both’ of these tools.

Very sturdy, great quality. Handy if you’re digging a hole in a limited space or need to dig a narrower or smaller hole.

Je ne l'ai pas encore essayée, mais elle me semble costaud. Je l'ai achetée pour réaliser une clôture, donc pour faire les trous de piquets (50cm). Elle est bien aiguisée + protection sur la lame.

Te gonque modificar mi reseña, le pongo 1000 estrellas 💫 💫 💫 💫 💫 Imprescindible!!! Gracias a ella estoy pudiendo trasladar rosales de 2.50 mtrs de altura con sus raíces en gran parte integras! Qué maravilla!!!!! Deseando probarla!!!! Quiero sacar de raíz unos bambús y necesitaba una ayuda extra!!! También necesito hacer unos hoyos para plantar los que saqué de un lado a otro....y espero que me ayude a hacer los hoyos .. porque me cuesta mucho hacer este tipo de trabajos y una buena herramienta es fundamental. * Pesa muchísimo se le ve fuerte como para hacerle palanca o subirte sobre ella para poder empujarla hacia dento. * Tiene un buen filo en la punta. *El mango totalmente solido y de buenísima calidad. Vamos..... sorprendida no... lo siguiente! Actualizaré para contaros comoe ha ido el la mudanza de los bambúes 😆🎋🎋🎋🎋🎋🎋🐼🐨

Funktioniert an sich alles tadellos, ist robust. Materialmix aus Plastikstiel schlecht recyclebar im Gegensatz zu Holz. Wir hoffen daher auf eine möglichst lange Lebensdauer.

Smal och stark Spade, perfekt till till dränering. Prisvärd.

Avevo già altre pale ed avevo presa questa per fare fori più precisi, ma è talmente comoda che la sto usando per tutto.
