The Shuv-Holer Post Hole Shovel is used for digging post holes by hand, especially in places where power diggers cannot go. The common use is to clean out the debris which falls back as the power auger is removed, leaving a firm base for the post. The shovel is widely used by local authorities for erecting power poles, highway crash barriers and for cleaning sludge gullies. Builders also find it ideal for foundation piers. The true scissor action allows deeper digging without enlarging the top of the hole.Tempered steel blades and heavy duty mechanism will withstand the hardest use. Quality tapered hardwood handles give good grip. Length including Handle: 1600mm (63")
