The Bullhead Trenching Shovel is a marvelous landscaping tool that is designed to dig small, narrow trenches for pipes, cables, irrigation and drainage. The shovel is very durable: its heavy 13-gauge steel head is heat treated to increase the shovel's long life. The head features unbreakable ribs and a wide step plate that is set 90° to the shovel's blade. The long hardwood handle provides extra leverage, making the removal of soil much easier.
