When you use the right tool for the job, the project goes smoother, and a Trenching Shovel allows for precise digging when opening and clearing narrow trenches. It's the perfect size to do minimal damage to turf when replacing sprinkler heads, laying pipe for a French drain or irrigation system (even under sidewalks), and digging into tight spaces-all making it so you don't have as much backfilling. The Trenching Shovel's V-shaped blade allows you to gather loose soil without disrupting the surrounding trench, but it's also useful for planting seedlings, removing deep-rooted weeds, and other garden projects. Constructed from 14-gauge 100% Made In The USA steel, it's up to 30% more durable against foreign competitors. The handle is made from high-quality fiberglass and coated in a polyester veil to prevent splintering and increase strength. The handle's rubber grip provides maximum comfort to decrease hand fatigue despite those long trenching projects. The Bully Tools 14-Gauge Trenching Shovel with Long Fiberglass Handle comes with a limited lifetime warranty that protects against defects in material and workmanship.
