Some accuse me of being an urban dweller, but I can reassure you that I spent many a summer digging holes: holes for fence posts, holes for our family’s sprinkler syste, and holes for mafia hits. Er, scratch that last one.

It’s unfortunate I had to rely on crap department store brands instead of a Zac Tool. No longer will I make that mistake. The Zac Tool super heavy duty trenching shovel will work in narrow spaces as well as large and hold up to the toughest ground (it has a 12 gauge blade) and it’s patenteded blade and shake design make shaping a breeze.

Cost: $19-$39 @ Zac Tool
