Spear & Jackson County Post Hole Shovel

The Spear & Jackson County Post Hole Shovel is a tried and tested workhorse that has earned its place on farms, forestry sites, and building projects for decades. Designed specifically for digging straight-sided, vertical holes in loam and clay soils, it delivers the clean, precise holes that post, pipework, and foundation work demands — without the ragged edges and collapsed walls you get from using the wrong tool for the job.

The high-grade carbon steel head is built to withstand years of heavy wear and tear, and the rust-resistant finish keeps it performing season after season regardless of the conditions. The reinforced collar locks the head firmly to the long timber handle — eliminating the wobble and loosening that plagues lesser shovels over time — while the extended handle length gives you the leverage and reach to work efficiently without dropping to your knees at every hole.
