Amtech Premium U1875 Drain Shovel Fence Post Hole Digging Spade – Key FAQs

• What is a drain shovel used for?
  A drain shovel is designed for digging narrow trenches and deep, confined holes. It’s ideal for drainage channels, fence post holes and other slim excavations where a wide spade is awkward.

• How deep can I dig with this spade?
  The long narrow Curved Back blade helps you dig deep post holes and trenches, but the final depth depends on soil type, obstructions and the user’s technique and strength.

• Is it heavy to use?
  It’s built strong for demanding work, but the long handle helps with leverage so it remains manageable for repeated digging without sacrificing durability.

• Can the blade be sharpened?
  Yes. If it becomes dull, you can sharpen the edge carefully to improve cutting performance through soil and small roots.

• Will the colour always be the same?
  No. It may be supplied in grey, black or green depending on available stock, but the tool specification and performance remain the same.

• How do I look after the shovel?
  Remove soil after use, rinse and dry if needed, then store in a dry place. A light wipe of oil on the metal can help protect it during long-term storage.

• Is it only for fence posts and drains?
  While it’s designed for those jobs, it’s also useful for trenching, landscaping and general ground preparation where a narrow, deep cut is needed.
