Hooyman Digging Shovel
Best heavy duty digging tool for homeowners tackling rocky or tough soil.
This is the shovel you want when the ground fights back. The serrated edges make short work of stubborn roots that usually stop a blade dead, while the dual-grip handle gives you the leverage needed for heavy lifting. It sacrifices a bit of weight for serious, long-term durability.
