Post Hole Spade 1720mm Extra Long Heavy Duty Tamper

A heavy duty post hole spade built for digging narrow post holes and compacting material around posts. The extra-long 1720mm post hole spade combines a 65mm wide blade with a mushroom tamper head, giving you one tool for digging and tamping during fencing and groundwork jobs.

Used for fence post installation, gate posts, landscaping work and general groundwork where a narrow hole is needed without removing more soil than necessary. Handy for trade use, farm maintenance and larger garden projects, especially when working on repeated post setting where moving between digging and compacting is part of the job.

The long overall length helps with reach when working into deeper holes, while the slim 65mm blade is suited to controlled digging in tighter spaces. A 60mm diameter mushroom tamper head gives you a practical way to compact soil, gravel or backfill around posts once they are in position. At 17lb, the tool has the weight expected for heavy duty ground work, helping it feel solid in use. Having both functions in one piece can be useful for regular post-setting work, as it keeps the main digging and tamping tool close at hand.
