About this tool

The Roughneck Long Handle Drainage Shovel is a specialist digging tool designed for excavating narrow trenches and deep holes in challenging ground conditions. Its sharpened carbon steel blade cuts effectively through clay, compacted soil and root-ridden earth, making it ideal for groundwork projects requiring precision and power. This drainage shovel excels at digging trenches for laying drains, pipes and cable channels, as well as excavating holes for fence posts and signage.

The contoured grip enables a more comfortable, upright working position, reducing strain during prolonged digging tasks.
