The TerraX Master Digger kit pairs the 34 or 36 in T-handle root cutting shovel with the 11 in double serrated hand digger and its belt sheath. The shovel does the heavy cutting through sod, roots and packed ground; the hand digger stays on your belt for small plugs and tidy recovery once the target is close. Both tools are black powder-coated steel.
Who this kit is for
Buy this kit if you hunt sites where a hand digger alone is not enough: wooded relic sites, old homesteads with root systems, clay, or gravel bars when prospecting. The shovel reaches the deep targets and the hand digger keeps you from swinging a full-size shovel at a two inch deep coin in a lawn.
If you want a shovel with teeth along both edges rather than a sharpened V point, look at the TerraX Master Digger Set with the double serrated shovel instead. If you only hunt manicured parks and lawns, the hand digger on its own is the lighter choice. All of these are in our TerraX collection.
What each tool does in use
- V-cut blade, pre-sharpened. The 9.5 x 5 in blade comes to a point and is sharpened from the factory, so it goes into sod with a foot on the step and slices roots rather than tearing them.
- T-handle, 6 in across. Two-hand leverage for twisting out a plug in packed ground, and easier on the wrists than a straight shaft on long days.
- 34 or 36 in length. Long enough to dig standing up, short enough to strap to a pack. Pick 34 in if you are shorter or carry it far; 36 in if you dig deep relic holes.
- Hand digger with double serrated edges. 11 in overall, 2.25 in wide, 14 oz, rubber handle that keeps its grip wet. Teeth on both edges saw through small roots.
- Belt sheath. Holds the hand digger at your hip so it is always within reach and the serrated edges stay off your leg and your gear.
- Blade cover for the shovel. Keeps the sharpened edge off the other gear in the trunk.
