Trenching Shovel

This shovel has a long thin blade that is shaped like a scoop that's useful for digging dirt in a long, narrow pattern. It's thin, lightweight head makes it much easier to shovel the massive quantity of dirt usually moved when digging a trench. These shovels come in a variety of lengths from 3 - 6 inches with either wooden or fiberglass handles. Fiberglass is lighter, and therefore better for long digs.
