This is a digger I started to develop about 3 years ago and finally happy with the current one. I will be looking for a few people who use a hand digger more than a foot digger and willing to put it through it's paces and give feedback on what they think. Still working out a reliable supply chain for materials and have a few possible tweaks. Also hoping the tariffs will get cancelled soon as they doubled my material costs. I plan on either manufacturing them myself or if possible find a USA based shop to make them. I also plan not to do direct sales and prefer dealer distribution.

Thanks

Interesting concept,  but I rarely ever use the hand trowel,  almost always use a root slayer type shovel, regular shovel, or sand scoop. My local parks dont allow any type of shovel or I would probably use it more.

I have a Lesche Ground Shark I use for woods and fields but did develop this for parks as it is easy to cut a flap or small plug and use a 12x12 piece of rubber roofing for a digging mat. Park people here are pretty cool about me using the digger as I'm not leaving a mess. I can't speak for all parks, probably depends on the town etc.

Many times I just use the hand digger so I don't have to carry as much and use it more around tree roots where any foot digger is just about useless.

Looks good to me but I doubt I will ever wear out my old Lesche knife. I can't bring myself to ever use a shovel type device in parks, even if allowed. Your trowel would be fine but I think the optics of shovels is horrible.

I myself use a digging tool that White’s puts out . The handle is large and it fits my hands but yet light in weight. I don’t want something that pulls my pants down because of it’s weight. My wife don’t like when my piggy bank slot shows.

 i use a hand digger a lot I could test it put it through tests and i can  review it

Looks sturdy, however, on such a short digger, I prefer a nice thick gripped straight handle.  I have a mini Sampson and the T handle is more of a hindrance than a help.  For park digging this Wilcox trowel or the slightly shorter version fits the bill for me

 I too have one like that and for me it works great when I get down past 6”.’

 We all have our likes and dislikes. That’s what makes all of us unique.
