Why it works
Built for insulated groundwork
BS8020:2011 compliant
Insulated construction rated to 1000V and tested to 10,000V, built for digging around live cables and buried services.
Tapered digging blade
The tapered blade breaks into compacted ground and lifts spoil more easily than a square mouth for general digging and backfilling.
Treaded collar
A treaded collar gives a secure foothold for driving the blade in by foot on hard or compacted ground.
