GET STUCK IN.
Fencing tools designed from experience. Made in Somerset. Built to last.
The Trench Rat is a tough, versatile all-rounder with a narrower profile for getting into the places a standard digging head won’t.
Originally designed as a drainage spade, its narrow digging head makes it ideal for excavating trenches and working in tighter spaces. This slimmer profile also makes it a great tool for digging struts in.
The head sits at a slightly different angle to The Earth Junkie, with a less offset angle from the shaft, giving The Trench Rat its own feel and making it particularly well suited to narrower excavation work.
As with all our spades, the digging head is made from Hardox® 450 - high strength, abrasion-resistant steel chosen to stand up to hard use and demanding ground conditions.
Compact, tough and useful for far more than just drainage, The Trench Rat is another proper all-rounder - just one that’s particularly happy getting into the tight spots!
