The Roughneck Long Handle Drainage Shovel is a specialist digging tool designed for excavating narrow trenches and deep holes in challenging ground conditions. Its sharpened carbon steel blade cuts effectively through clay, compacted soil and root-ridden earth, making it ideal for groundwork projects requiring precision and power. This drainage shovel excels at digging trenches for laying drains, pipes and cable channels, as well as excavating holes for fence posts and signage. The 160mm narrow blade allows for targeted digging in confined spaces, whilst the extended 1460mm fibreglass shaft provides increased leverage and reach. The contoured grip enables a more comfortable, upright working position, reducing strain during prolonged digging tasks. Built for durability on demanding sites, the shovel features heavy-duty carbon steel construction with a corrosion-resistant tumble lacquered finish. Integrated treads on the blade allow for greater foot pressure to be applied whilst minimising slippage. The Power Ring socket with steel-reinforced plug creates a robust blade-to-handle connection that withstands the rigours of professional use.
