Roughneck ROU68255 Double Arm Serrated Sharp Edge Post Hole Digger Shovel

When the ground is compacted, root filled or just hard going, a standard spade creates more mess than progress. The Roughneck ROU68255 Double Arm Serrated Sharp Edge Post Hole Digger Shovel is designed to cut deeper and cleaner, making it the right tool for fence posts, gate posts, signs and planting jobs where a narrow, accurate hole matters. Built for trade users and serious DIY work, it combines aggressive cutting action with controlled soil removal to make tough groundwork more manageable.

Its key advantage is in the blades. The tool uses sharp serrated hardened steel blades that provide a more aggressive digging action than a traditional flat edged post hole digger. That serrated edge helps the shovel bite into hard soil, clay and roots, making it especially useful in difficult ground conditions. A steel socket reinforcement at the blade to handle connection is also listed by supporting retailers, adding strength where repeated stress is highest.

The double arm scissor action allows the blades to open, enter the ground and close to scoop soil out with minimal disturbance to the surrounding area. This makes it ideal for producing clean, deep post holes with less wasted effort. It is suited to fences, gates, signs, landscaping, groundwork and tree or shrub planting, especially where the hole needs to stay narrow and controlled.

For strength and leverage, Roughneck fits the tool with solid fibreglass core handles. These are designed to deliver durability and improved reach compared with timber handles, while cushioned grips help reduce fatigue during extended use. The overall length is listed at approximately 1.46 metres, giving good leverage for deeper holes. Supporting retailer listings also show a bucket depth of 230mm and bucket diameter of 155mm, which are useful working dimensions for standard post installation tasks.
