Defiance Fully Insulated Shovel Holer, 96 has a strong fibreGlass shaft which has excellent insulating and shock absorbing properties with a pinned shaft to help prevent the grip slipping during use. The insulated Shovel Holer is designed for digging and clearing spoil in narrow holes which restrict the use of standard spades. It should not be used directly on solid surfaces such as tarmac and concrete or stony ground, which must first be broken with an appropriate digging bar. Insulated tools are ideal for use by utility, railway electrical, street lighting contractors etc.
