POST HOLE SHOVEL LONG HANDLE

What It Is

The Long Handle Post Hole Shovel is a professional-grade digging tool designed to install fence posts, timber columns, signposts, tree protectors, and sleeves. With its long reach, offset handle, and deep blade, it makes planting and digging clean, straight holes quick and efficient.

Key Features

• Long Hardwood or Fibreglass Handle (≈1.2–1.5 m): Provides excellent leverage while keeping your back upright.
• Offset D‑Grip or T‑Handle: Keeps hands clear of the hole edge and offers better control during lifting.
• Sturdy Steel Blade (230–260 mm wide): Rounded scoop shape for deep, straight post holes.
• Powder-Coated or Painted Finish: Resists rust and wear from soil and moisture.
• Reinforced Head-to-Shaft Connection: Built to withstand heavy penetration and digging torque.

Benefits

• Streamlined Hole Digging: Round blade removes soil cleanly and minimizes hole widening.
• Ergonomic Efficiency: Offset handle and length reduce bending and strain during use.
• Durable & Rugged Construction: Ideal for heavy tasks like post driving or relocating poles.
• Accurate Hole Placement: Produces consistent diameter and depth—great for repeat post layouts.
• Multi-Purpose Use: Also excellent for deep planting, garden bed renewal, or root extraction.

Landscape Ideas

• Fence & Gate Post Installation: Dig consistent holes in fence runs or property borders.
• Timber Sleeper Supports: Prepare clean, deep holes to anchor retaining sleepers.
• Street & Garden Sign Posts: Create stable settings for signage or solar sensors.
• Tree Planting & Root Work: Mix compost below rootballs for healthy plant establishment.

How to Use It

1. Mark your hole position and shovel a small starter hole.
2. Drive the blade straight down, applying downward pressure.
3. Lift by engaging the D-grip or T-handle and remove the soil.
4. Repeat until desired depth is reached.
5. Clean the blade after use and store in a dry place to prevent corrosion.

Coverage Example

Each scoop removes roughly 4–5 L of soil. To dig a standard 300 mm post hole (~0.05 m³), expect about 10–12 scoops—streamlined and efficient.
