The T-handle design on the Ground Shark provides greater torque when prying or levering against a root ball, because your hands are positioned farther apart on the horizontal grip. This gives you more rotational force when you're twisting the blade to break a plug free or levering out a rock. D-handle shovels concentrate your grip in one spot, which works well for straight downward thrusts but limits your ability to apply side pressure. The T-handle also allows a two-handed grip at different widths depending on the task, and the 31-inch shaft length keeps your back angle neutral when digging shallow targets. We've found the T-handle configuration reduces wrist strain on long digging sessions compared to single-grip designs.
