Long Handle Digging Tools FAQs

What kind of digging tools do I need for the job?

For standard post setting, PEAVEY post hole diggers with solid or split handles offer strength and control. However, if you need to clear out narrow holes or remove loose soil, the PEAVEY Eastern Pattern or  Western Pattern Telegraph Spoon are your go-to tools.

How do the eastern and western telegraph spoons differ?

Both telegraph spoons feature scoops for removing mud and backfill, but are designed for different soil types. The PEAVEY Eastern Pattern Telegraph Spoon is tailored for lighter, sandier soils, while the Western Pattern Telegraph Spoon is built to tackle harder, clay-type terrain.

What accessories pair well with post digging tools?

To get the most out of your post digging tools, pair them with the right accessories. Heavy-duty work gloves protect your hands from blisters, while giving you the grip you need for repetitive digging. Safety glasses are also a must when working around flying debris or loose soil.

When can I expect my post digging tool to arrive?

As soon as your order is packed and ready to go, we’ll send you an email with tracking details so you can follow it every step of the way. If you didn’t get the email, please let us know.
