The Roughneck Drainage Shovel has a sharpened blade, making it easier to cut into compacted, clay or root ridden ground. Ideal for digging deep narrow trenches for laying drains, pipe and cable channels as well as digging holes for posts and signs. Manufactured from heavy-duty, carbon steel with a corrosion resistant, tumble, lacquered finish. Treads on the blade allow for increased pressure to be applied with reduced risk of slippage. The Power Ring socket, steel reinforced plug, provides stronger blade to handle connection. With a tubular fibreglass shaft and a soft grip D-shape handle for comfort in use. Specification Blade Width: 110mm Overall Length: 1080mm (43in)
