📐 Square Mouth & Taper Mouth Shovels

Ideal for scooping, shoveling out trenches, and mixing materials.

• Roughneck Square Mouth: Features a high-lift blade to reduce back strain and a "Power Ring" connection for maximum head-to-handle strength.

   

• Carters Taper Mouth: The gold standard for site work. The tapered blade allows for easier penetration into compacted gravel and hardcore.

🕳️ Trenching & Cable Laying Shovels

Precision tools for narrow excavations.

• Carters Newcastle Drainers: Specifically designed for digging deep, narrow holes and cleaning out trenches with surgical precision.

• Roughneck Micro Shovels: Perfect for working in tight spaces or digging out material from bulk bags where a full-sized shaft is too cumbersome.

   

🪵 Traditional Forged vs. 🦾 Modern Composite

Choose the construction that fits your workflow:

• Carters Solid Socket: Forged from a single piece of high-carbon steel. There is no weld to snap, making these the most reliable shovels for heavy prying.

• Roughneck Fibreglass: Weather-resistant shafts that won't rot, warp, or splinter. Equipped with ergonomic "D-Grips" for comfort during long shifts.
