If you need to dig out a cable trench, the Bulldog cable laying shovel gets the job done efficiently and safely. It's manufactured to BS8020, individually tested to 10,000V and guaranteed to 1,000V.
This insulated shovel has heavy-duty strength thanks to its one-piece construction - it has a 280 x 125mm head with epoxy coating for corrosion protection, a fibreglass shaft and insulated collar with protective wear sleeve.
The slim blade is perfect for digging out narrow trenches, with treads to help you apply more force while also acting as boot protection. Rounded edges help to reduce the risk of damaging underground pipes or cables.
