Digging Tools for Every Job

Garden shovels should be able to put in a shift whenever you need them. Additionally, many shovels feature a blade step, allowing you to more easily dig holes using the full weight of your body to cut holes. Available from John Deere, Razor-Back, Truper and other brands, learn about different shovel head options and for which jobs they’re best suited.

Round Point Shovel

With a round head coming to a point, these metal shovels are must-haves for the casual and serious gardener alike. You can easily cut through soil, dig reliable holes and scoop and remove dirt.

Scoop Shovel

Also known as a grain scoop, scoop shovels have deep basins that help prevent spillage on the carry-through. Although they can be used for a variety of other purposes, they are highly effective when moving granular materials, like seeds, fertilizer and even mulch. Scoop shovels are larger than normal square shovels, allowing you to move more in one go.

Trenching Shovel

Trench shovels instantly recognizable due to their long, narrow blades. They are useful for digging new trenches or maintain existing ones. Longer handles allow users to effectively dig trenches while putting less strain on their backs.

Post Hole Digger

Post hole diggers look like two shovel heads joined together. Also referred to as post hole shovels or diggers, they are especially useful for digging deep holes for fencing or other upright features with posts.

Hand Shovel

These little scoopers are efficient gardening tools for a variety of tasks. Whether plastic or metal with wood handles, they typically have ergonomic designs and durable but lightweight builds. A hand shovel lets you work in tidier spaces as you garden.

Digging & Tamping Bar

A complimentary piece of digging equipment, a dual digging and tamping bar has two sides for versatile action. The digging side can help break free hard and compact soil and deepen holes. Flip it over after you’re done to pack the dirt around your project with the tamping side.

Quality Materials for Heavy Duty Digging Shovels

Whether you’re using an excavation shovel on the job site or a grain scoop shovel on the farm, you need shovels made from quality materials you can depend on.

• Blade: While aluminum is a good option for scoop shovels as it weighs less and allows for easier maneuverability, steel blades are essential for heavy duty shovels on the farm, garden or job site.
• Handle: Many shovels have a wood, steel, fiberglass, or poly shaft, with all providing a decent amount of longevity. Steel shafts are sturdy and resist rust, but may be heavy for casual gardening. Fiberglass and wood handles offer a lightweight option that is sure to last.
