Auxiliary (Secondary) handle for spade, shovel, garden fork
This auxiliary or secondary handle can be attached to a spade, shovel or garden fork offers ergonomic benefits to help reduce physical strain and improve efficiency when shoveling or digging.
- The auxiliary handle allows the user to work in a more upright position, reducing forward bendingĀ
- By providing a second hold point closer to the spade/shovel blade or forks the auxiliary handle increases leverage, allowing the user to more efficiently apply force with less effort, making digging or lifting (shovelling) garden material easier.
- The auxiliary handle enables the user to lift the shovel/spade/fork with both hands while also pushing with their legs. A more natural and efficient method of working.
- The auxiliary handle can be adjusted up or down the shaft to suit the user's height and arm length or the task (e.g., closer to the blade for shovelling, higher for digging).
- The auxiliary handle provides better control and manoeuvrability, useful for precision work or when working in tight spaces.
