This trench cleaning shovel will last a long, long time. The raised sides help keep the dirt in place as you raise it up and out of the trench. The large handle angle reduces muscle strain. You can leave it in the back of your truck all year, and it will not rot like a wooden handled shovel. The kind of use and abuse that will destroy inexpensive big-box store trench clean out shovels will barely scratch this tool.
Customer Reviews of the Trench Clean-out Shovel
As someone who trenches regularly for my job. That shovel is nothing short of amazing. Way easier on your back, clears the trench by 1/8 inch each side, so it does not get stuck. Big scoop,easily removes rocks. I wish I would have found this product years ago, but I'm glad I have it now!
Had to dig a 24" deep, 6" wide, 50' trench for laying electrical conduit. The long-handled tools and clean-out tools were essential for digging deeper than 12" deep. We would have had to dig a much wider trench to excavate the soil with conventional shovels. Shipping was fast--tools arrived in just a few days.
We had a water leak just past our meter and the city team that came out as well as the plumbers we hired had trench shovels which were superior to anything we had. Since we do a lot of irrigation repair here in the Phoenix area on our own, I did some searches on trench shovels and tools and found EasyDigging. The Trench Digging Shovel and Trench Clean-Out Shovel are outstanding for our gravel yard. I had been using a small hand scraper on my knees before and I'm getting too old for it. Also, these tools (along with a mattock) allow for longer, deeper trenches for the irrigation lines. Could not be happier with our purchase.
I like that your site has tools that you can not go to your local big box store and find. The quality and service are great.
Bought a trenching tool and the quality of the product and ordering process were great! I will use Easy Digging.com again.

Before you buy a trench clean-out shovel online, remember that there are two types of trenching tools: one for actually digging into the soil, our Trench Digging Shovel, and the other for removing the loose soil from the bottom of a trench that was cut with a powered trencher - called a Clean-Out Shovel.
Clean out Shovel - used to remove the loose soil (also called crumbs or spoil) that is left in the bottom of any trench that was cut with a power trenching machine. This is done to provide a level solid surface for drainage or water pipes to rest on. Our cleanout shovel has a higher handle angle to reduce bending while reaching the bottom of the trench. It can also be used to slice or dig away at high spots in the trench bottom.
Shovel Specifications
The 9" wide hollow-back blade (shovel head) is formed from one piece of thick 14 gauge carbon steel. It features rolled back steps for secure contact with your foot. The professional grade handle has a thick fiberglass outer tube, with a solid fiberglass core in the critical lower area where head and handle connect.

HISCO's fiberglass handles have a legacy of premium performance. All HISCO handles are produced from thousands of continuous strands of fiberglass saturated with resins.They have a smooth polyester veil (coating) on the surface that gives the handle a smooth comfortable finish. The D-Grips, used on short handled tools, are made of one-piece high-density nylon.
The long handled digging shovels feature the 8-inch Tuffoam double-dip grips which have been designed for the toughest industrial applications. The grips have a comfortable non-slip foam exterior that provides long life and helps prevent hand fatigue.

OTHER DIGGING TOOLS
How is this different from the "Bottom Digger" clean-out tool?
They do the same job, but the Bottom Digger is much faster, and much easier on your muscles. Both remove the loose soil, or crumbs, left after a power trencher cuts the trench. But the Bottom Digger is designed like a narrow backhoe bucket on a stick, so to clean the trench you pull it towards you and then lift straight up. With a standard clean-out shovel, you push it away for you to collect soil, then lever the load up and out. Please go visit our Bottom Digger page to see the difference, and see the video showing a race between these two tools.
