Roughneck ROU68237 Long Handled Drainage Shovel 1460mm/57½"

This Roughneck long-handled drainage shovel is excellent quality. The handle length makes digging and clearing much easier, saving strain on the back. It feels solid and well-balanced, with a strong blade that cuts cleanly through soil and clay. The build quality is top-notch — sturdy, durable, and clearly made to last. It’s also comfortable to use, even for longer jobs. Ideal for trenches, post holes, or any deep digging work. A great tool that does exactly what it should. Definitely worth the money and highly recommended.

Solid tool that worked well. Helped me dig my trench quickly and the perfect width. Will also use it for the gardening I think

Used to did a shallow narrow ditch. This worked well.

I’m gonna give this product 5 stars on appearance alone even though I haven’t used it yet, because I hope it will help people trying to choose and I was really pleased with what arrived. When I was looking for one to buy it was hard to tell, on Amazon, from pictures, how well built they are, (and we all know what some of the stuff can be like, right?) This thing is an absolute beast. It looks and feels really solid. I looked to see where it was made but couldn’t find a country of manufacture. I have absolutely no doubt that I’ll never need to buy another one. If this thing ‘ever’ breaks (possibly on my neighbours head) it will be my fault and not the product, For the record, I paid full price for it because I needed it and this is my own, honest review, not some paid for hype.

Good for cleaning out holes ect . I use with a pinch bar and double shovel as I think it would bend fairly easily with a bit of pressure.

I find this spade more useful than normal spade for basically any activity required. It being double the length for the blade makes trench digging for ducts and cables significantly easier. Also very useful in gardening for flowers as they often need to sit lower than a normal spade can dig without digging a wide hole. The spade is sturdy enough to dig rough terrains with rocks and chunks of bricks even though a long crowbar is always recommended to move/destabilise any bigger solid pieces in the ground and after that this spade picks them up no problem.

My husband found this spade a lot easier to handle and it goes so much deeper than a normal spade. Great for digging posts holes. Not a bad price either.

Can dig holes if used correctly
